OK, i'll have a look at the Gnome stuff as Puppy uses it and see what
needs updating unless barryk wants to do it, at least providing a list
and .desc's for new stuff. I haven't been involved with KDE since I
dropped SuSE (pre opensuse days) and went to LFS and then on to BarryK's
Puppy 2 so i'd rather leave that to a KDE person as it's a 'little'
specialized nowadays.
I also want to look at the QT 'pile' in T2 and try to sort it out
(unless someone is already doing that) as I want to add quite a bit to
it that's not there such as the QT desktops and new qt5 apps and some of
the new development tools out there. which is why I need a working build
(preferably a puppy) first. It seems that most of the new graphics tools
are using qt5 in some form. ?android influences? There is also a qt5
photoshop ?equivalent i'm almost dying to play with if I can build it as
well as manga-ed, Storyboard, and an Anime creation package being built
by a small number of uni-students as their final project if it comes to
a useable fruition.
But both streams will have to await a start in mid-may as I have some
Leadlighting work to complete by then. I've just been using some free
time to start things, leaving them running, and seeing what happens when
I come back approach so far, but i'm running short of time so things may
have to await then for much more than prep work.
However, Back to working with the 50- build, I actually found a problem
(5/) with 10- (ok maybe I should have tried that one first however 50-
is so far building) except for /develop/intltool which is set for
0----5---- but needs pearl and the xml-parser modules built first and
the perl-XML-parser isn't built until -----5----, but that needs others
built first, etc.(you know what I mean), so for now i've changed my
intltool to -----5---- for now and will see what happens when it gets
that far.
And with Problem 3/ below, it just doesn't happen if using 50-, but does
with 00-minimal (tried it a number of times on another workstation I
mirrored as a safety precaution),????, wierd!
On another, but 6/ (?MAJOR?) problem, when doing a download -required,
if the package is in the correct download/mirror/?directory? but is a
.bz2, download won't attempt to redownload it as a .zst or convert the
.bz2 to a .zst, however the Build-Target\Package builder won't build it
unless it's already a .zst at that point, and errors the package-build
with a package not found .err error file and halts. I'm not either a
good enough coder or have enough knowledge to fix this and wonder if you
could sort it out as a matter of urgency please. Data costs down here in
Australia is rediculous to start with, especially as my only option here
where I live is satellite so I really don't want to d/l what I don't
need too as you would appreciate.
regards again to all

Hi,
I need to go thru your other notes, but Create-ISO did never directly
burn. In T2 we try to follow the Unix philosophy to create tools that
do one thing well, so that Create-ISO just creates the system image,
how the user burns it is up to them, …
50-minimal desktop will certainly yield errors, I did not build it
the last years. I only build minimal and locally emerge xorg and
friends if I need a desktop (e.g. not on VM / cloud servers).
That said of corse most desktop stuff incl. X and mesa3d did build
when I emerged it.
Btw. if someone wants to update our outdated kde & gnome package it
would be highly welcome ;-)

You will be pleased to know that other than needing to .zst the
mingetty package I already had downloaded (the download -required
didn't change it from bz2, ? or should it be able to use .bz2 in
the build as I had expected, it didn't). Should I call this 4/?
The build has completed corectly and Create-ISO has done that, I
just need to burn and test. For some reason I had thought that
Create-ISO would burn it ?too if a blank CD was in the cd-drive????
but that's not in the manual so it must have come from something
else I had read.
EDIT: burned and started, it runs but no login so couldn't check
further.
This seems to prove that the basic build/packagelist is now
working, thank you. Now to try a 50-minimal desktop and see what
happens, if that works, on to my puppy mixture!

OK, Problem 3 and a request:-
3/ Started building and come across the 0-linux-header problem,
had it before and it seems to have come back, it fails with an
error message saying it can't write a var/adm/flists file,
directory is there but think it actually means the
/var/adm/flists/linux-header file it can't write out. After a
Clean -cache and Build-Target is restarted it's ok, writes the
linux-header file out and goes on building.
(so far just completed building 0-packages).
Also could I ask for mingetty be added to the 00-minimal.in
package-list please, it's too good not to use and each port
doesn't have to have it's own getty copy tied to a pid as most
others do, it shares.
In particular is " mingetty --autologin 'loginname' tty "to
autologin and allow autostarting scripts tied to particular
username.
QUOTE: mingetty is a minimal getty for use on virtual consoles.
Unlike agetty(8), mingetty is not suitable for serial lines.
mingetty [--noclear] [--nonewline] [--noissue] [--nohangup]
[--nohostname] [--long-hostname] [--loginprog=/bin/login]
[--nice=10] [--delay=5] [--chdir=/home] [--chroot=/chroot]
[--autologin username] tty

Thanks for the new X86_64 Base, at r45537, much appreciated,
have downloaded and installed with a difficulty or two with
stone's obscuritiness in setting meanings.
However a problem ot two for you:-
1/ Problem with installing from CDROM, it wants to be installed
from a Drive Partition, it did not show the cdrom as an option
to install from even though it was booted from one (tried three
different workstations with the same result), so something
wierd (?maybe some sort of missing generic 64bit cdrom
driver).
I deciced to test it out by creating a minimal default set as
default1
2/ When trying to download I came across another problem, when
downloading from the source. Downloads (as shown below) when
from source and compressing, it says the final file is a
.tar.gz or .tar.bz2, but actually is a .tar.zst, OR, in the
case if a source is a .tgz, it is actually is a .tzst stored in
the mirror. I think you have a ?problem somewhere.
Haven't got further as i'm moving it to another workstation I
used for T2 building in the past. Will use this thread if I
find any.
regards and thanks again for the build

Rene, you have got to upload more recent live-cd iso

Rene, Would you mind building a x86_64 iso from latest
revision?
Currently, it is r43749, which is somewhere in 2015:
http://dl.t2-project.org/binary/unstable/9.0-trunk/
As you say, I need the zstd stuff in it. Also, I hit the
problem with perl being too old to build the 'texinfo'
pkg. The iso doesn't even have the 'xz' package!
Also, it is CLI only, a minimal with basic desktop would be
nice.
yeah, right, I build new images, committed some more fixes to
trunk, will release soon:
