Zfind, Pwireless, Pfilesearch, Network Wizard, modem

April 20, 2009 — BarryK
I'm finally getting around to upgrading some packages for the Woof builds. That is, many pet pkgs were the same as in 4.1.2.

I decided to put Zfind into Jaunty pup, as an alternative to Pfind. That is, both will be there.

I upgraded HairyWill's Pwireless from 0.8.3 to 0.8.4.

I upgraded Zigbert's Pfilesearch from 1.9 to 1.12.

I upgraded Dougal's Network Wizard to the 4th April release.

Rerwin posted 'modem_and_override_fix-4.1.3.pet' to the forum, which fixes some modem problems. I have applied this to Woof. Forum thread:

Note, this involved modifications to /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, a new file /etc/udev/rules.d/60-udev-modem.rules and /sbin/pup_event_backend_modprobe. All of these files are in the 'rootfs-skeleton'. Note, these fixes are already in 4.2.
