Some fixes for the new release

I have been fixing some slcakware/wary libs compatibility issues, mostly of them warnings in compile-time (due to the difference of versions between slack and wary) so far i have recompiled:

zlib (same version)
binutils (downgraded to stable realease)
gcc (upgraded to 4.5.3 [testing])
glibc (upgraded to 2.14 [testing])
kernel (upgraded to 2.6.35.7 > testing 2.6.37.6)


Ahora hablado de frankenpup en español:
Tengo traducido cerca del 45% de los scripts de arranque y apagado, una vez termine con eso pasaré a traducir los asistentes de configuración y finalmente probaré una shell localizada, no creo que me tome mucho tiempo (espero) aunque todo depende de cuantos exámenes me agenden para lo que queda del mes.

That's all.

Frankenpup-0.2.1337 is comming!!

Hello special and truly loved people, short story: i made some upgrades and will release another version, this one features a new kernel (2.6.35.7) and python got removed untill i fix the infamous module installation problem, also ugraded Perl to 5.12.3 and will keep upgrading some other stuffs SLOWLY. The next release will be in 3 or 4 days, oh i'm working on kde4 again, will try to compile 4.5 and 4.6 if everything goes fine i will upload a .sfs OR .txz package (yeah i went pretentious FULL FORCE).

Also i'm working on a spanish version of frankenpup, en otras palabras voy a traducir todo lo que se pueda (y lo que no también) al español, estoy experimentando con las últimas versiones de bash y sus locales y hasta el momneto todo va bien... hasta que reinicio xD, pero bueno es parte del proceso de desarrollo, los mantendré informados.


That's all for now

Some frankenpup stuff

Ok quick explanation i missed:

>To install a slackware 13.37 package you MUST download the package, after that just click on it.
>To uninstall go to /var/log/packages find the package you wanna uninstall and type "removepkg package-name.x.x.x" on a terminal (without the "") or you can set a run action it's faster.

That's all

New distro

Well i'm working again on frankenpup but now it's more than "just a puplet" i'm working really hard on this one, restarted the numeration to 0.1.1337 (0.1 frankenpup number, 1337 slackware number). Now it's more a slackware based distro than a puppy/wary based distro.

And from wary:
Almost everything else on the ISO (small config applets, kernel, startup/shutdown scripts, vmlinuz, initrd.gz, etc, etc, etc).

I'm working REALLY SLOW, don't wanna fuck up the whole thing and if i do at least i will know WHAT caused it.

Will upload some test ISO this week.

Frankenpup 8, the ocho

 Well i'm annmouncing the latest frankenpup alpha, short story:

LINK 1 file 160Mb iso

-WARY-070 / Slackware-13.1
-kernel: 2.6.34.1 SMP (WARY)
-glibc: 2.11.1 (from Slackware 13.1)
-gcc: 4.4.4 (same)
-fluxbox instead jwm (from slack)
-python script to keep the fluxmenu structure (fixmenus linked to that script)
-firefox 3.6.10
-no office software yet =P (i'm still stripping down Open office)
-removed a lot of apps (abiword, gnumeric, osmo, attym, gftp, and some others i will upload the list later)
-The run action for the txz packages is linked to my TXZinstaller script so you can install them with 1 click =)
-dbus-uuidgen on starup (to prevent dbus to FAIL hard)
-dbus-daemon on starup (for obvius reasons)
-on shutdown a script cleans the /var/run/dbus/ folder (to prevent starup FAIL)


Slackware packages used so far:

That's all so far, it's the first build i made using WARY(Quirky family) so i'm going slow because i don't wanna fuck the whole system.
