A long-time Linux geek. Interested in creating a Puppy that is self-hosting -- that can compile and build itself. Interested in making sure we have useful source code packages available for each Puppy package (each package that includes open source binaries -- obviously we're not going to get source code for the Macromedia Flash plugin any time soon!).

Towards this end, I have written and published a couple of scripts to help in buildng and packaging apps for Puppy, called dpupmaker.sh∞ and pupgetmaker.sh∞ -- these are downloadable from their respective threads in the Puppy Discussion Forum∞ .

Self Hosting Puppy Notes

  • 06 Feb 2006: Set up SelfHostingPuppy mailing list at http://www.freelists.org/list/puppy-devel
  • 21 Jan 2006: Setting up a dedicated box for work on SelfHostingPuppy .
  • 19 Jan 2006: The overall idea of a self-hosting Puppy is gaining shape and now has its own Wiki page called SelfHostingPuppy . Contributors welcomed!

  • Now working towards moving IRC to Freenode, see PuppyLinuxIRCTransition. Transition now mostly complete.
  • I am now running a (temporary?) web to IRC gateway using CGI:IRC at http://puppyirc.nfshost.com/cgiirc/irc.cgi
  • Recent minor changes to the CGI:IRC code (I hacked it 26 Feb 2006) should allow a link from the Puppy Linux web forums to be created that passes in the forum user name as the default IRC nick.

  • Attempted summary of Puppy 1.0.9 enhancement requests in Puppy109EnhancementRequests.
  • Created a script csv2wikkatable.sh to do this. Wikka table syntax is bizarre -- whole table on one line?!
  • Set up a Mantis Bug tracker for Puppy at http://tracker.nfshost.com/mantis∞ and added some of the 1.0.9 requests to it.

  • Created PuppyHardDriveInstall
