OK, going back and doing a build at 10-minimal-xorg, too many problems
with 5-$packages with 50-. I've also changed the stop to fail at 5-
instead of continuing after 4- so I can pick them up easier.
However initial problems relate to:-
6/ freeglut (118.700) which now needs PyOpengl (800.000) and of course
python (109.100) itself. I have changed PyOpengl down to 118.000 for a
test and see what happens when my 10- build gets up to that stage;
and
7/ docbook?x which the build is erroring as a faulty file (yes I
downloaded it from your site), something about not a bz2 source file? I
shall d/l from source site and see what happens then.
regards to all

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 ;-)
