--- Comment #28 from Christopher <laserhaw...@gmail.com> --- That would be, er, TahrPup 6.0.2... the one mentioned in the first post in this bugthread. We have never actually gotten to eg 5.99... minor versions are bugfixes and minor updates, major versions introduce major changes. 4.2.0 was I think our last official 4-series Pup... might've been a 4.2.1, don't remember. A 4.3.2 was released much later, it had not been finished when the 5-series Pups were released, with a different direction -- Puppy changed at that point from being its own thing built on T2 packages, to being primarily a derivative distro built on other distros' packages, and there were (around that time) two official Puppies and a remarkable number of 'Puplets' (not made officially). The two Puppies were Wary Puppy (really old heap computers, and still based on T2) and Lucid Puppy. Eventually Lucid became Precise and Wary was joined by Racy, and we also had a Slackware-based 'Slacko Puppy'. That was the 5.5.x-5.7.x series... A note about Puppies vs Puplets vs Pups. I use 'Pups' to refer to the collection of all Puppies and Puplets together, or to Puppy Linux releases in general where distinguishing between un/official releases would be cumbersome or complicating. Puppies, are the official Pups, and Puplets are the 'unofficial' Pups -- think of it like Chrome vs Chromium, where Google makes Chrome, everyone else makes Chromium -- except if the Chrome devs and the Chromium devs were one and the same, with a community around them cooking up different special Chromiums and all getting support from the same pool of talent. That's Puppy -- the devs kind of blend in with the users in what in my opinion is a truly extraordinary way. Our lead dev and 'benevolent dictator' Barry Kauler actually stepped down into semi-retirement (he still tinkers with Puppy-like stuff that isn't quite Puppy, but he doesn't officially release any new Pups) and TahrPup was released afterwards. Yes -- for a decade, Puppy has been, in some sense, a one-man distro -- and in another sense, a multi-person distro. Mr Kauler did not act alone -- others (handles 01micko and 666philb being two amongst several more) helped a lot. TahrPup is 666philb's production AFTER Mr Kauler's retirement. We couldn't have done that without our community being the way it is... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
