Screeny screen capture
01micko created a very nice screen and window capture application, named Screeny:http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=76204
I have been stuck on the very simple but basic mtPaint capture capability for a long time, I even resisted some nicer-looking GUIs for it.
But, Screeny is very nice, particularly as it easily captures windows, something that I need frequently.
Screeny needs a small utility, 'xwd', and I have modified the xorg_base* templates in Woof to include 'xwd', so it will be in all future puppies.
I also added 'screeny' to the package-lists of most of the build flavours, including Precise Puppy.

Racy/Wary (and anyone else without 'xwd') will need this PET (11KB):

Forum member peebee has created PETs and SFSs for Chromium, for both Slacko and Precise:http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=81351
I added 'libpn14' dependency into the 'pet.specs' file, and applied the modified 'chromium' script to allow older Flash player, and have uploaded the PET (42MB):

Precise: rerwin: 536/537 modem drivers
Rerwin has compiled kernel modules for the 3.2.29 kernel in Precise Puppy:http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=76961&start=720
I have uploaded these to the 'common' repo. These are for people to experiment with, I don't intend to put them into the next release of Precise Puppy (417KB, 1.4MB):
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-common/linux_module_intel536ep-20120710-k3.2.29-smp.pet
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-common/linux_module_intel537ep-20120710-k3.2.29-smp.pet
They require (6KB, 7KB):
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-common/firmware_linux_module_intel536-20121007.pet
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-common/firmware_linux_module_intel537-20121007.pet
Notes for rerwin:
1.
In 'pinstall.sh':
[ "`pwd`" = "/" ] && depmod
...so that depmod will not execute if the PET is builtin when building a puppy in Woof.
2.
I have fleshed out the pet.specs files:
linux_module_intel536ep-20120710-k3.2.29-smp|linux_module_intel536ep|20120710-k3.2.29-smp||BuildingBlock|1087K||linux_module_intel536ep-20120710-k3.2.29-smp.pet|+linux_kernel&eq3.2.29,+firmware_linux_module_intel536|Intel 536 modem SMP driver|ubuntu|precise||

Note, I have also done this to the other modem driver PETs.

Precise: wallpaper files
Forum member futwerk has posted some wallpaper images for Precise Puppy:http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=76961&start=690
Thanks for that!
I have added two of these to my collection (the PET previously only had two images) for Precise (315KB):

Precise: dgc, hcf, hsf modem drivers
Rerwin has compiled dgc, hcf and hsf modem kernel drivers for the 3.2.29 kernel used in Precise Puppy:http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=76961&start=645
I have uploaded these to the 'common' repo (8KB, 472KB, 1MB):
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-common/linux_module_dgcmodem-1.13-20120901-k3.2.29.pet
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-common/linux_module_hcfpcimodem-1.21full-20120927-k3.2.29.pet
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-common/linux_module_hsfmodem-7.80.02.06full-dellhybrid-20120901-k3.2.29.pet
The 3.2.29 Linux kernel PET is also in the 'common' repo, with the intention that other (non-Precise) Puppy builds can also use it. Although, note that it was compiled in Precise Puppy, so any other 3rd party drivers must be also.
I will include these three modules in the next release of precise, even though the hsfmodem PET is big (1MB).

nobus, dbus library stubs
technosaurus has created a PET of nobus, modified as shared libraries, which are do-nothing stubs for the 'dbus' and 'dbus-glib' libraries. This is for apps linked against those libs but which will still work if they are only stubs.Forum post:
