Good day!
I am running Bionicpup64 latest version (official Puppy).
When I launch Puppy Package manager, and click on the Add new repo button, it opens Puppy Printing!
Please fix it.
And how can I add new repo?

I tested the add-repo button on buster64 and it also apears to be broken. Instructions for adding a repo can be found at:

/usr/local/petget/README-add-repo.htm

However, it is much easier to add a new repo using sc0ttman's package manager (i.e. pkg), which should be installed as part of bionic64 but if not the latest can be downloaded from gitlab. To install just extract the download of the project and run the install script.

Here's an example on how to add a ppa repo using pkg: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 90#1047535

Here's an example of adding a debian style repo via pkg: Note that for debian style repos there could be issues with repo name conflicts which should be fixed once the following:

is merged. You can test the code for merge request number 22 by downloading and installing the following branch:
