newsPCmanFM, MC, NetSurf packages
XFE file manager is being discussed on the forum:
https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=11993
It would be good to have more file managers in the package repository, so I have compiled PCmanFM and Midnight Commander (MC) in OpenEmbedded. The former is a gtk+3 app, the latter an ncurses console app.
These are now online. Run PKGget and click the button to update the package databases. In the "oe-scarthgap" repository, in the "Filesystem" category, you will find PCmanFM and MC. MC requires no extra dependencies, PCmanFM requires menu-cache, libfm and libfm-extra.
After installation, you will find PCmanFM in the "Filesystem" category of the menu. MC doesn't have a menu entry; you will have to open a terminal and type "mc".
Here are short reviews of file managers:
...this is page-2, showing ROX-Filer and PCmanFM.
Compiling of NetSurf web browser is also discussed in the forum. It has been made into a PET package, found in the "Filesystem" category of the "pet-scarthgap" repository in PKGget.
