Just a note on what's happening with this thread work.
1- I've finally changed to using the r49198 iso with the addition of xz
and lzip packages and a 'few' tweeks with a diff file.
2- I've gone back to using T2 at r49158 with a few modifications as the
later one 'just bugged out on me too much'. Additions to r49158, such as
adding linux54 (kernel 5.4.20) and the matching linux-firmware54 (
linux-firmware-20200122.tar.gz) release, with a pile of .conf changes
and package relocations seems to be working. Reason why these two in
particular is that we use a lot of script in Puppylinux Quirky and the
linux kernel 5.5.x has some changes that will cause a lot of rewriting,
which I don't intend doing at present, plus the 5.4.xx series is LTS so
should still be around for quite some time yet, at least until I have a
working Quirky T290 system running for a few years.
It means i'm well past just a 20-minimum build (built sucessfully) and
are now working through a complete puppy linux buildset of some 623
packages. I'm at 5-linux54 at present and some 21hrs of uninterupted
build, running one package at a time as i'm only using a core2duo and
don't want to overheat it.
When I have completed this I will do a write-up, including,
1- /target/generic/pkgsel/60-t290-64.in;
2- the matching /config/t29064/packages package (?or maybe the whole
directory);
3- the two /package/base/linux54 and /package/firmware/linux-firmware54
packageset directories;
4- a svn diff of the r49158 tree as I have modified it;
5- ?
I will at that point end this thread and using a new download start
again with a new thread and create a 'final' packageset to build a
"Puppy Quirky T290". I shall of course, see what needs to be
added/changed and start a build again with a 20-minimal, as r49158 is
now already getting 'long-in-the-tooth' thanks to Rene and his robot :-)}.
At least that's my idea at present, I may change and create a Easypup
T290 instead. Easypup is a Barry Kauler created cross between a Puppy
Linux and EasyOS, his latest creation with inbuilt containers. And
creating a T2 version of Easypup is slightly appealing at this point,
although i'd really like to put all the work so far with a Quirky T290
to a actual build. EDIT: I just looked back in my mail archive out of
curiosity and it shows I started this back in 2014! Start and stop of
course as work permitted, but didn't realise it was that long ago.
Anyway, I'm not sure what else I should supply to enable anyone to
duplicate at this point or use the results of my work, any sugestions
what i've missed or could be worth adding?
OTHER THINGS:
I'll also give notice for those with my mail in their address books,
that i'm due to change url's at the end of the month as
lamiaworks.com.au will disolve and lamiaworks.net.au will appear, the
.com.au was my old business url which had everything in and i'm finally
shutting down as i've retired and am sorting out the 'business related
stuff to deal with' the .net.au has been sitting in the background
awaiting like a phoenix to arrise-from-the-ashes for many years. The
.com won't dissapear for long, as I have other ideas for it, but it
won't be linux related.
And yes, Rene, i'll try a change of address iff it lets me, or do I ask
you, i've sent a message off to the lists owner.
regards to all
scsijon
