New from Barry Kauler, described as 'scratching an itch', a new pup but built with an old woofq from 2012, likely to be incomplete:

This pup is a weird beastie. Looks like EasyOS, but also like a somewhat broken vintage-2012 Puppy Linux.

Broken, because I got to the desktop then stopped working on it. For example, created a save-file at shutdown, but it wasn't found at next bootup -- a mere detail, sure that can be fixed.

However, finding all the little issues and fixing them will take many days, would likely run into weeks. Another issue is booting with "puppy pfix=nox" didn't work.

This was just a fun excursion, a novelty project. I do not want to develop something that competes with the official Puppy, so that's it, finished. I almost wasn't going to upload the ISO, but then thought hey, why not, someone might like the diversion, might even want to hack on it.

Notice the "install" icon on the desktop.

It does launch a window, but I haven't tested to see if any of it works.

I did one hack, put in folder /home as per EasyOS, and /mnt/wkg a symlink to /. This is for some apps that want these paths for open and save. The Puppy normal is open and save dialogs default to /root. The 7build-puppy-cd script could search for any scripts with /home or /mnt/wkg and change to root. Anyway, as I said, I have dropped it.

Oh yeah, decided to call it "EasyPup".
