(150808-10) JL64-603 iso release
notes:
- fix 3_devextra64-603.sfs missing python bindings;
- update dillo bookmarks;
- edited profile.sfs: .mozilla/icecat sqlite files
- py2cairo, sox & wavpack builtin_files added to /root/,packages in basefile;
- edit midsums in pkglist & verify iso;
- modify & sync grub.cfg & isolinux.cfg - default: noautosave, 2nd menu: xorgwizard
- VLC-2.0.6-x86_64-2.sfs builtin_files added to /root/,packages;
- vintage vbox (Vbox-4.3.20-JL64_603.sfs) fixed to accomodate new kernel;
- 150808JL64-603.iso
note: devx is no longer required for many compilation/build needs (including kernel builds). The documentation which was on the original lighthouse devx and gtkdocs is on the documentation.sfs addon, as are the man pages. Extra locales are on NLS_base addon, a bit of a misnomer as language packs are still pretty limited. individual packs are available in gslapt.
(150731) JL64-603:
- now with kernel 4.1.3 handles/loads modules better than previous kernels;
- modified symlinks in usr/lib64 for gnutls & nettle;
- upgraded fakeroot
- update-manager gui in Desktop hacked from LHP-503g
- kcompile.sfs on iso contains Stemsee's SUKK-Universal (kernel kit ui)
(150722-24) JL64-603:
- moved minimal nls-base into 3_devx addon on iso; added seamonkey
- correct distro name for samba.sh, conf files, etc.
- fixed 'click-to-verify-mariner';
- trimmed redundancies in documentation.sfs
- added appropriate glib-networking, netkit tools & assorted networking libraries
- moved *.files in kde & devx to /root/.packages/builtin_files
(enables quirky-style 'remove-builtins' for applications on an sfs addon and reduces confusion for PPM/woofce);
- todo: standardize formatting of *.files files; finish making trees
(150719) JL64-603:
- earlier patches applied
- update dillo bookmarks/config
- repair usr/share/doc/welcome1stboot ('more info' button)
- added make tools/etc to 3_devextras addon
- added JL64-603 documentation to /usr/share/doc
- added /sbin/pup_event_ipc:
mkdir /tmp/pup_event_ipc
mkdir /usr/local/pup_event
ln -s /usr/share/doc/pup_event_ipc-README.htm /usr/local/pup_event/
update inotify
fix net-tools
note: If 2_sysd addon is loaded, dnsmasq rc file needs configured.
(150712-15) JL64-603:
- additions to udev/rules.d & hwdb
- transmission changed to v2.83
- uploaded JLH64-603Deltas.tar.gz, effectively upgrading JLH64-603g to JLH64-603;
- minor additions to Devx, documentation, 3_devextra;
- removed about 6M of extraneous libraries from lib64 in basefile (see changes.txt);
- tar.gz includes new initrd.xz to account for dropping the 'g' from distrospecs;
- revert to old busybox in base file;
- fix/upgr libevent-2.0.21;
- JLH64-603 now contains nettools and fuse-ssh which has workarounds for running without full udev;
- dnsmasq (v2.72) now on 2_sysd; rarian, tftp, scrollkeeper & yasm added to 3_devxtra;
- Troublesome symlink (udev in lib & etc) fixed;
- rem symlink to var/tmp/kdecache-root/icon-cache.kcache in 4_kde;
- md5's adjusted in lhp-update pkglist;
- edit transmission sfs for libevent-2.0.21 (for JL64-602)
(150703) JL64-603g Re-release
notes:
- upgraded wine to 1.7.23
- downgraded to cups 1.54.3
- first-run now sets up default browser and calls up the printer
wizard (cups html interface)
- Because of unique python bindings, devx must be loaded to run
system-config-printer
- fixed legacy boot (for isoliinux)
- Systemd no longer auto-loads at boot up
- assorted devx files in 3_devxtra64-603g.sfs auto-loads at boot
up
- Moved netboot to systemd addon until gtk problem opening
dnsmasq is settled
- Current samba has been successfully tested with winXP
- New busybox & glib/gcc in initrd.xz
- integrated lighthouse update with gslapt for slackware
packages
(150619) JL64-603 Release
notes:
- This release consists largely of bug fixes unsuitable for
further patching JL64-602.
- PPM_auto2 is now fully functional.
- Musher's slocate gui is the preferred search database.
- Brought back Lighthouse update with two lines of script
changed so that 'update file list' closes down lhp-update and
brings up gslapt for installation of slackware packages.
- Otherwise, a small selection of lhp pets is available and any
selection will trigger ppm/wget to download the pet and ask if
you want to proceed with installation.
- SFS files are for the time being only available at g-drive and
only downloadable via browser.
- Select default e-mail with 'defaults-chooser' inside the
desktop folder prior to clicking the e-mail icon.
- All add-ons specific to JL64-603 will be in the same directory
(link below). Most in ExtraSfs will work (as will those at
Tazoc's repo) but care should be taken. I will be removing
qt (etc) libraries from specific add-ons as I get to it to
better jive with the new base-file.
- Should you wish to stay with the original Lighthouse/Mariner,
this kernel package runs it very well.
- Next project will be updating the kernel and some 'security'
patches for the 32bit lhp-503g. That pup is just too cool!

JL64-603( Just-Lighthouse64)
(150527) The final release version
(JL64-4.0.1f.iso) is now available for download after nearly six
months of tinkering. It includes several bug fixes from the previous
upload as well as several dependencies for applications installed
missed by both ppm and g-slapt, particularly concerning gimp and
system-config-printer. These additions are primarily python
bindings, but I've also upgraded control pannel, pup-sysview, and
added pup-kview, urxvtcontrol, at-spi2 and locator gui.
Of course, to call this "final" does not mean "really and truly"! I
believe it merely qualifies JL64 for long-term-suppport. There is
undoubtably still much which might be done.
- notes on systemd and kde windomanager:
Included in the JL64-4.0.1f iso is the addon,
2_SysdUdev-x86_64.sfs, which essentially restores systemd and udev
as was in the original lighthouse and earlier JL64 prior to the
addition of eudev, which is a udev work-around eliminating the
need for systemd. Although not essential to run the kde desktop,
so many functions are tied to it, paticularly kde drive/partition
mounters as well as gnome disks.
To run kde free of systemd, simply unload the
2_SysdUdev-x86_64.sfs addon with boot manager or sfs load in the
control pannel. There are plenty of puppy applications to take up
the slack, such as pmount. In this case, spacefm would be the
preferable file manager for kde, since it runs completely
independent of polkit and dbus-1 (with systemd).
The other note concerning the kde windowmanager is nepomuk
services. Some bit of nepomuk (libraries) is essential for most
kde (v4.10.5) applications, but the system is broken as slackware
provides and, in fact, has been abandoned by kde in more recent
versions (which appear absolutely dependent on systemd). The only
kde applications to truly suffer are the file indexing service and
data storage.
I've added Smokey et al's 'locator-1.1-tahr' to the base file
which provides a more-than-satisfactory indexing database gui for
locate.
To save sessions while running kde (especially booting kdm/kwin
from the console rather than xwin), you must switch the window
manager to any other wm AFTER hitting the 'save-session' icon on
the desktop.
