One of my first tasks as the Kluane Research Assistant was to set up phenocams in the common garden experiment. Phenocams, or more generally time lapse cameras, take pictures every hour to create a video of what has happened over time. Differences in the timing of life events (phenology) – things like when leaves appear or die – are probably one of the biggest drivers of the difference in growth we are seeing between willow populations. With phenocams we can now track this throughout the whole year!

My first step was to unbox them, which, I have to say was the most time consuming! I was to put up 12 cameras around the garden to monitor certain plots, with another one going to be put in a tree to get an aerial view.

After all was unboxed, it was time for the set-up. The instructions were very clear and allowed for the cameras to be customized to our liking. I inputted the time and date and chose the name for each camera. This information will be displayed at the bottom of each picture when the whole video comes together. Being able to name each camera makes it very easy to differentiate between each camera, especially when wehave so many!

Once the set-ups for all cameras was complete, I headed over to the common garden to put them up. Team Drone, who stopped in Kluane earlier this summer, thankfully put up the posts where I was to attach the cameras. At first I wasn’t too sure how I’d be able to set them up but thankfully each camera came with aconnecting band and clasp that I found was long and strong enough to attach each camera securely. The outcome looks pretty good and hopefully the final resulting images will too!

Our phenocams were purchased thanks to a Dudley Stamp Memorial Award from the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG).

Slacko64 Puppy is built from a 'Puppy builder' system named Woof-CE (woof-CE at GitHub), which can build a Puppy Linux distribution from the binary packages of any other distro. There are many 'puppies' built with Woof, including TahrPup, Precise^*, Wary^*, Racy^*, and Slacko.
Each 'Puppy distro' built by Woof-CE is a distinctive distribution in its own right, with unique features. You choose a puppy based on your particular needs, be it specific hardware, software, or access to and compatibility with the package repositories of a particular major distro.

Since November 2013 Puppies are built with woof-CE. There are no release notes for woof-CE at this stage however anyone is free to browse the commits and offer code in the form of a 'pull request'.
The following is left here for historical purposes and still has much relevance.

Woof-CE commit log

You can view the full commit log of woof-CE 'Testing' branch at the following link: Testing Branch.

The most significant recent changes in woof-CE include:

• Fully rewritten 'init' script for the initrd.gz
• New facility to include special system A, Y and F drive sfs (squash file system) files that take precedence over the main sfs.
• A new kernel update mechanism that provides even greater hardware compatibility.
• Puppy package manager redesign with improved ease and functionality.
• New user interface and UI configuration tools
• Additions, updates and bugfixes in dozens of puppy-specific applications and tools
• Inclusion of base packages into the woof structure

Please note that some puppies that are not built from thelatest version of Woof, or remasters of an earlier release of Puppy,may not have all of the above features.

Precise Puppy 5.4

Precise Puppy is built from Ubuntu Precise Pangolin 12.04.1+ binary DEB packages, hence has binary compatibility with Ubuntu and access to the vast Ubuntu package repository. Couple that with Puppy's tiny size, speed and ease-of-use, and this is one incredible pup!

This is the very first release of Precise Puppy. It is assigned version 5.4 to indicate it's position relative to the other puppies, such as Wary 5.3 and Slacko 5.3.3 (5.4 coming soon).

A lot of work has happened at the 'Woof-level' since the release of Wary 5.3 in April 2012 -- of particular importance to Precise are the many enhancements to the Puppy Package Manager (PPM). The following are Release Notes at the 'Precise-level'.

• New audio/video and snapshot apps and capability 123
  
• New and updated utilities and apps 123456789101112131415
  
• New analog (dialup) modem drivers 12345
  
• System-level and management refinements 12 3 4
  
• Commercial X.org video drivers 12
  
• Internationalization improvements 1234567
  
• 3.2.29 kernel, SMP, PAE, i686 1
  

PAE Kernel

The 3.2.29 kernel in Precise Puppy is configured with PAE, which means that the CPU must be PAE-capable. Precise also requires a Intel i686 or later CPU. Some CPUs in the early days of the i686 architecture are none-PAE, a very small percentage of the overall number of i686+ computers currently in use.
If you happen to have one of those none-PAE CPUs, please use Wary Puppy, or monitor the Puppy Forum as it is likely the 'Puppy community' will build a Precise Puppy with a none-PAE kernel (I will also announce it on my blog).
Note: 'PAE' enables the kernel to support a computer with more than 4GB of RAM.

Theme

Precise 5.4 has been built with the 'stark-blueish' GTK theme, 'stark-blueish' JWM theme, 'Neon' desk icons and 'precise-futwerk-1b.jpg' wallpaper. I would like to thank vicmz for composing the Neon PET and futwerk for creating the nice wallpaper. Note, if you are curious how themes are created for Puppy, read the Themes Intro. page. Note 2, lots of themes are available for installation in the 'noarch' repository in the PPM.

PPM

I mentioned above that the Puppy Package Manager has undergone a lot of development. If you are new to Puppy and want to get a quick overview of the PPM, read the Puppy Package Manager page. That page was last updated in 2009, however the principles are still the same (I intend to update it soon). In the Woof Release Notes above, you can follow the links to find out about the myriad improvements made to the PPM. There is also an on-line Help page for the PPM. We are still refining the PPM to work flawlessly with the Ubuntu repositories -- updates on this will be posted to my blog.

Precise Puppy 5.4.1

This is a bug-fix release of 5.4. Yes, we did find some significant bugs and shortcomings, and fixed them! There is one significant fix at the 'Woof-level', that broke shutdown and reboot when the session is saved to the entire partition. Quite a few fixes at the 'Precise-level': Some of them are just annoying, such as ePDFview rendering wrong colours. Or, somewhat more than just annoying, such as missing firmware that caused some wireless drivers to fail. Precise-level Release Notes, in no particular order:

• PDF Viewer (ePDFview) wrong colours fixed. 1
  
• Samba share mounting/management improved 12
  
• Wireless drivers and firmware 123
  
• Application/utility updates 12345
• Glib/gio module-loading bug 1
  

New blog
Note that my blog, at http://bkhome.org/blog, has been archived, now read-only. A new blog has commenced at http://bkhome.org/blog2.
PAE kernel
For those with Pentium-M CPUs that do not support PAE (see comment above), I did release a build of Precise 5.4 with a kernel configured for non-PAE-capable Pentium CPUs. I will shortly do the same for 5.4.1 -- please monitor my blog for the announcement.
Theme
Note that the theming is the same as 5.4, except that the GTK theme has been changed to 'flat grey rounded' -- due to text highlighting problems experienced by some users with the 'stark-blueish' theme.

Precise Puppy 5.4.2

This is a bug-fix-of-a-bug-fix release! Although, there are some significant advancements at the Woof-level, see above. At the Precise-level:

• BaCon BASIC compiler upgraded (refer 12, note requires the devx sfs) 1
  
• Ubuntu 'dvdauthor' pkg broken, using pkg from Slacko 1
  

Precise Puppy 5.4.3

A few more bugs found and fixed. Minor improvements at the Woof-level, see above. At the Precise-level:

• Some needed libraries and utilities were missing. ROX-Filer, Pdvdrsab fixed 1

Precise Puppy 5.5

The very first Precise Puppy was version 5.4, on 23 October 2012, built from Ubuntu Precise Pangolin 12.04.1 binary DEBs. Since then we have had bug-fix and minor upgrades, versions 5.4.1, 5.4.2 and 5.4.3, the latter released 17 December 2012.
Well time marches on, and Ubuntu have released their second build of Precise Pangolin, 12.04.2. Precise Puppy 5.5 is built from 12.04.2+ DEBs, but of course it is extremely important to understand with Puppy Linux that our use of the binary packages of another distro is only a convenience for us, to obtain binary compatibility, hence compatibility with that distros package repositories -- in all other respects, from the lowest levels of the infrastructure upward, Puppy is unique.
There have been many bug-fixes and improvements at the Woof-level since Precise 5.4.3 was released, plus many package fixes and upgrades. Enough to warrant the number jump to 5.5. Please read the Woof release notes above, plus 'Precise-level' release notes here (in no particular order):

• 'In house' package fixes and upgrades 12345678910111213141516
  17181920
  
• losetup encryption fixed 1
  
• Package dependencies bugs fixed 1
  
• New: Frisbee network manager 123456
  
• Mixer GUI for Pmusic 1
• Play with Ubuntu Phone Qt-XML in Precise Puppy 1
  

Theme
I have chosen a similar theme to the recently-released Wary and Racy 5.5. The PET packages used are 'desk_icon_theme_lagabluenight' (desktop icons), 'gtk_theme_flatbluecontrast' (gtk), 'jwm_theme_deepbluebold' (JWM window manager), and for the background wallpaper I used Puppy Forum member futwerk's excellent 'precise-darkblue-logoorange.jpg' (name changed from futwerk's original).
Upup Precise
The kernel remains at 3.2.29, although there are later in the 3.2.x series. I decided to stay at that version for now, due to the number of third-party kernel drivers compiled for it.
The kernel is PAE-enabled, which means that there are some early i686-class CPUs that will not boot -- this time I have not provided a non-PAE build of Precise Puppy -- instead, our Puppy enthusiast 'pemasu' has been building variants of Precise Puppy with recent kernels (3.7, 3.8) and non-PAE.
Pemasu has named his pups 'Upup Precise', to distinguish from my Precise Puppy. Please go to the Puppy Forum for announcements about Upup Precise. Here is one of the relevant Forum threads:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=83699
...though, I recommend monitoring the 'Puppy derivatives' section of the Forum for later announcements -- in fact you will find a lot of interesting announcements there, just one example is gray's 'Nearly Office Pup', based on Precise Puppy.

Precise Puppy 5.6

it is good to read the above Release Notes for earlier Precise puppies, to get an idea of the evolution. Relative to 5.5, this latest pup brings some exciting new features, including a new Xorg Video Wizard (with forced-reboot recovery mechanism), new non-PAE 3.2.44 kernel with lots of analog modem drivers (making this an excellent pup for those still on dialup Internet), many more applications internationalized, many applications upgraded, lots of bug fixes, and so on! Plus, a huge number of fixes and improvements at the infrastructure/system level (see last batch of Woof release-notes above). In all, a great new edition of the Precise series.
Release Notes, in no particular order:

• More apps internationalized 1234
  
• Many system and small apps improved/fixed 1234567
  
• New SFSs (app combo-packs, see here) 1
  
• BaCon BASIC compiler upgraded (see intro page here) 1
  
• Big apps compiled especially for Precise Puppy 12
  
• Improved Frisbee wireless manager 1
  
• New 3.2.44 kernel, non-PAE, i586, SMP 1234
  
• Improved support for f2fs (Flash Friendly File System) 12
  

Disregard earlier notes about PAE and non-PAE kernels. This time there is only the one kernel, configured as non-PAE. This means that the kernel cannot recognise if your PC has more than 4GB of RAM -- it will still work, just won't use that extra RAM.

Precise Puppy 5.6.1

This is a bug-fix release of Precise 5.6. Various little things fixed, nothing major. Rerwin added drivers for agrsm and hcf analog modems, rounding out Internet dialup (the old kind) modem support to be almost as good as Wary Puppy (our retro pup for old computers).

Precise Puppy 5.7

Another pup in the Precise series! This pup comes in two flavours, one for older hardware and/or those on dialup Internet, the other for those with relatively modern hardware.
The 'retro flavour' is an upgrade path for those who have used our Wary Puppy, that targeted older PCs and analog modem dialup -- unlike most other Linux distributions, it continues to support a wide range of analog 'winmodems'. It also has two web browsers, SeaMonkey and Opera, the latter preferred for PCs with less than 256MB RAM.
The 'modern flavour' only has one browser, SeaMonkey, and forgoes most of the analog modem and true-SCSI drivers, and is the choice that will suit most people (see below*). You also get the benefit of a much smaller download.
As usual, there have been lots of changes since Precise version 5.6.1 was released, bug-fixes, as well as improvements at the 'Woof level' and 'Precise level' -- read release notes for the former above, and the latter below:

• The 'retro flavour' has analog modem drivers for agrsm, dgcmodem, ess, conexant hcf/hsf, Intel 536/537, lucent, pctel, smartlink, and more. Also drivers for true-SCSI hard-drives and cd-drives. The .sfs (squashfs) file inside the live-CD is gzipped (rather than xz'ed), which improves speed but does make the .iso file bigger 1
  
• Many libraries, utilities, and applications upgraded 123456789
  
• PeasyGlue is a new application for joining images together 1
  
• Pidgin debuts as our multi-protocol chat client 1
  
• Retro flavour: Kernel 3.2.48 with many 3rd party drivers and f2fs patch 1
• Modern flavour: Kernel 3.9.11, PAE, i686
  
• Miscellaneous fixes and tweaks 123
  

*Retro versus Modern
If you still connect to the Internet by analog modem dialup, you will need to use the Retro flavour if you have one of those winmodems (modems designed for MS Windows). However, there is support from some winmodems in the Modern flavour. Also, true-hardware modems will work in either flavour. If you have an ancient true-SCSI hard drive or CD drive, you will need the Retro flavour.

Drivers Salix Cameras Used

The Retro 3.2.48 kernel is configured for a minimum i486 CPU, no PAE support (so will not recognise more than 4GB RAM), supports the old ISA and EISA cards, and true-SCSI drives. The Modern-flavour 3.9.11 kernel requires a i686 CPU minimum (which is the vast majority), will recognise more than 4GB RAM, will not work with ISA/EISA.
Apart from the above considerations, a slow and/or RAM-limited PC will perform better with the Retro. Very roughly, if your PC has a i686 (or better) class of PC with at least 512MB RAM, choose the Modern flavour.
Theme
I put together a very interesting theme for this pup. The desktop icons are Haikupup, the wallpaper is precise-speckledblue-futwerk.jpg (created by futwerk), the JWM window manager theme is Bluesky (based on the original Bluesky by Tman), GTK theme is Glass_Sky (based on the original by Trio), and ROX-Filer is modified from the default by DejaVu Sans-11 text on the desktop, with white foreground.

Precise Puppy 5.7.1

This is a bug-fix for release for Precise 5.7. If you have 5.7 and any of these affect you, then please upgrade:

• The desktop drive icon for an external USB optical media did not appear.
• Non-US keyboard layout was not working properly (at bootup was US layout).
• Pidgin: could not login to Facebook and Gmail.
• Gnome-Mplayer: playing DVD videos needed fiddling with Preferences.
• A syntax error in /root/.Xdefaults.
  

Lots of puppies...

Spup (Slacko)

'Spup' is our generic name for puppies built with Slackware binary packages. The foremost right now is 'Slacko', currently one of our official flagship puppies.

Upup (Precise)

'Upup' is our generic name for puppies built with Ubuntu packages. Our latest is Precise Puppy, built from Ubuntu Precise Pangolin binary packages. Whatyou get is a very small distro (the live-CD is about 150MB) yet withjust about every application you would need and the speed andease-of-use that Puppy is famous for. All of the advantages of Puppy,plus binary compatibility with Ubuntu .deb packages -- Puppy's ownPuppy Package Manager will install any packages from the vast Ubunturepositories!

Wary

Waryis intended to be state-of-the-art, built with the latest Woof andrecent packages, except for some rollbacks where newer packages areconsidered less than satisfactory. Currently, Wary uses Xorg 7.3, which may be a better choice for older video hardware. Wary is built with kernel 2.6.32.x, to suit older hardware. Also, we have a large collection of drivers for oldanalog modems (we are unable to compile manyofthese drivers with later kernels). Wary intro. page: http://bkhome.org/wary/

So many more puppies!

It is so easy to create a custom Puppy, either by using Woof orremastering the live-CD (there is an super-easy remaster program in theSetup menu), and this has resulted in a huge choice of custom puppies.

Download!

There are mirrors of Puppy, that you will find considerably faster than the ibiblio.org host site (which is very slow). Please go to my download page that has links to many mirrors:
