New download-only button in PPM
Ha ha, this has been such a long time coming! Maybe they already
have it in the woof-CE version of the PPM -- it has diverged
considerably from the one in WoofQ.
In PETget package manager, also known in Puppy-land as the PPM, when
click on a package, a preview window comes up. If the package requires
dependencies to be installed, there will be an "Examine dependencies"
button, clicking that will bring up a window listing all the deps, and
there will be two buttons "Download only" and "Install packages".
That's fine, however, if the package has no missing deps, then the
first preview window only has a "Install <package name>" button,
there is no "Download only" button. I have now remedied that:
Yay! Only took about 12 years for me to get around to doing
that. The script that was edited is
/usr/local/petget/installpreview.sh
