'zzz' merged into Woof

March 02, 2011 — BarryK
I announced recently that I was going to do this. It makes life much easier for me, and 'zzz' is where I have been concentrating a lot of effort, many improvements, not just for 3G modems.

I will upload the latest Woof with merged zzz very soon.

A note to Puppy-builders, you need to make sure that your package list (in variable PKGS_SPECS_TABLE in file DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS-*) has these settings:

yes|jimtcl||exe
yes|usb-modeswitch||exe
yes|usb-modeswitch-data||exe
no|zzz_scripts_simple_bk||exe


...insert these alphabetically. You will also need the Woof with merged zzz that I will upload.

The latest PETs:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-quirky/jimtcl-0.63.pet
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-quirky/usb-modeswitch-1.1.4-1.1.5-mixed.pet
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-quirky/usb-modeswitch-data-20101202.pet

...you will need to run '2createpackages' to rebuild the generic package folders.

For now I have just merged zzz as-is, but tonight or tomorrow I intend to look at updating usb-modeswitch and usb-modeswitch-data.
