Title: Missing extensions in 8.0
Post by: GeeferUK on December 01, 2016, 07:37:38 AM

I am new to tinycore (actually using PiCore) but am finding several extensions that were available on 7.x that no long appear to be available:

libpng12.tcz
dejavu-fonts-ttf.tcz
carootcerts.tcz

and presumably others. 

The lack of CA certificates makes using git with https fail, dejavu were the only set of ttf fonts I could find and libpng12 is needed for applications still linking against the older version (libpng.tcz installs libpng16)

Am I missing something here about how to find them in the 8.0 repository or is it expected that several extensions have not been rolled forward into the new release?

Some items could have been copied over but were probably just overlooked.

dejavu-fonts-ttf.tcz - This contains only fonts. You can download it from the 7.0 repo and use it under 8.0
carootcerts.tcz - I'm pretty sure this one's safe to download and use as well.
