For anyone who is interested, the "Puppy community" have taken over
Woof, the Puppy Linux builder. It is now called woof-CE (Community
Edition).

woof-CE is on github:

https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE

I no longer keep my Quirky build system in an online VCS, instead just
upload tarballs every now and again:
