Rene, Yes, I can localise many things into the "puppy" target, for example pkg_abiword.conf. Actually, my target is called "wary6", as I don't build puppies anymore, building for my Quirky fork. I haven't been doing that, localising, but intend to do so in the future, and be able to checkout your latest T2 with my special customisations separate. The Quirky build system however (which was forked from Woof, the Puppy builder), is enormous. It digests binary packages from almost any distro and does an incredible amount of post-processing. It is not something that can be put into T2. Archiving it as a tarball, it is about 22MB. So, yes, I could someday submit a target, say "quirky", for inclusion in T2, but all it needs to do is compile the packages. The Quirky build system already has a script that pulls everything out of the T2 build. There are still a lot of packages that are not compiled in T2, and I would like to move more of them into T2.
