Quirky Pyro64 is built with packages compiled from source in OpenEmbedded. It will run on PCs with x86_64 (64-bit) CPUs, of at least "core2" vintage.
The download file is only 290MB, yet has an incredible collection of applications, including LibreOffice, Kodi, Gimp, Planner, Pidgin, Dia, Xine, SeaMonkey, Gphoto2, Gparted and Grisbi -- plus lots more!
Here are release notes and issues, in no particular order:
Here are release notes and issues, in no particular order:
- Kodi and Xine. Two media players. Comparisons please! Kodi is huge, that 290MB download could be 260MB if I left it out (it would still be available in the package manager (PPM).
- Kodi issues. Usability testing of Kodi is needed. I can't seem to exit from it, except by press "\" to make it into a window, minimise the window then kill the window.
- Intel video. Currently there is only hardware-accelerated video for Intel graphics. I might compile more, for example 'nouveau', if there is interest.
- PPLOG, the person blog, is broken. It has been broken for a long time, should take it out if it can't be fixed.
- Printing works. For my laser printer anyway. The build has the gutenprint drivers, and hplip drivers are in the PPM.
- LibreOffice. Works great. Amazing to get such a huge app in such a small build. The database components needs a database, and 'mariadb' is in the PPM. Note. LibreOffice was compiled without Java support.
- Samba. Not there, I plan to compile it. Perhaps it will be in the next build, or in the PPM.
- OpenEmbedded. This was my dream, to compile everything from source. Not quite there yet, some packages not yet ported into OE, and in those cases have used binary packages from Quirky April.
- Green theme. Perhaps not to everyones liking. I will develop a new theme for the final release.
- Package choices. Any suggestions welcome for the next build. Some packages might need updating. Our enthusiastic Puppy developers are always coming up with new and improved apps. Jemimah's 'frisbee' for example -- rerwin has been working on that
