Woof "plateau"

I posted back in February about Woof reaching a plateau, on which it will rest for awhile:
http://bkhome.org/archive/blog2/201302/a-woof-quotplateauquot.html

It never really happened though, Woof kept on evolving.

Now though... maybe a plateau has been reached.

I am going to Melbourne in a couple of days, for a holiday. And, I intend to give the whole Puppy-thing a rest.

I might still fix bugs though.

"Have a good break Barry, you deserve it! Pemasu and myself have came accross a critical piece of information with AUFS and newer kernels. From the aufs readme: [i]You will find GIT branches whose name is in form of "aufs3.x" where "x" represents the linux kernel version, "linux-3.x". For instance, "aufs3.0" is for linux-3.0. You may not be able to find the GIT branch in aufs-util for your version. In this case, you should git-checkout the branch for the nearest lower number. If you are using linux-3.10 and aufs3.10 (which are not released yet), but the "aufs3.10" branch doesn't exit in this repository, then "aufs3.9", "aufs3.8", ... or something is the branch for you. Also you can view all branches by $ git branch -a[/i] We had those mentioned bugs with sfs_load. Having aufs-utils compiled against the running kernel's headers fixes it. WHat's in my build kit for the kernel: (automated building of aufs-utils against bult kernel headers) [code]# build aufs-utils userspace modules echo "Now to build the aufs-utils for userspace" git clone git://aufs.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/aufs/aufs-util.git aufs-util [ $? -ne 0 ] && echo "Failed to get aufs-util from git, do it manually. Kernel is compiled OK :)" && exit cd aufs-util git checkout origin/aufs3.0 [ $? -ne 0 ] && echo "Failed to get aufs-util from git, do it manually. Kernel is compiled OK :)" && exit LinuxSrc=../dist/packages/kernel_headers* CPPFLAGS="-I $LinuxSrc/usr/include" make [ $? -ne 0 ] && echo "Failed to compile aufs-util, do it manually. Kernel is compiled OK :)" && exit make DESTDIR=../dist/packages/aufs-util-$kernel_version install make clean echo "aufs-util-$kernel_version is in dist" cd ..[/code] Tested working.

"There should be a woof for CPUs up to PIII and another for PIV and later. Another good idea would be to have a woof snapshot for the last day of each month so late commers would have a chance to compare. Happy Vacations and no flue again ! :happy:

"I wrote a little awk script to format a puppy flat file database to json and jsonp here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=698831#698831 This would allow the package database to always be current (as long as you set a short expire time for caching) Let me know if this is of interest, and I can put the client side javascript.

"Plenty of "new" languages in forum section [i]Localization Project[/i] now. I was trying to make a QuickLocaleSwitcher (similiar to the seamonkey extension with that name) that means change the language without restart of X. I have created use of /usr/local/apps/*/AppInfo.xml[b].in[/b] for translation which is merged with /usr/local/apps/*/AppInfo.xml which thus can contain just the exactly needed translations of [b]Summary[/b]s and [b]Label[/b]s.
