I reverted my signed (no-developer key) XO-1 back to build 650 ("ship.1", 7.1.0) and did a ``olpc-update --usb`` to update to candidate-765. I had the expected issues of no sudo and having to update olpc-update itself, and it worked! This wasn't a perfect test because I didn't revert firmware as well, I was on latest q2e18 firmware throughout. I improved and simplified the early sections of http://wiki.laptop.org/go/olpc-update for the "USB upgrade" path. I noticed one slightly confusing thing. The line of text in a virtual terminal and in `cat /etc/issue` is: OLPC build 765 (stream 8.2; variant devel_jffs2) ^^^? ^^^^^? I guess this "candidate" stream isn't a real stream, it's just a special treatment of certain builds. But why is the variant called "devel" ? According to <http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OS_images#Image_variants> , "devel Contains tools useful for developers of the OLPC operating system, including: yum, rpm, vim-minimal, openssh-server, xterm, which, file, tree, wget, xorg-x11-twm, gdb packages" My OS only has some of those. I think these days there isn't a "Normal image" any more, just "devel_"? Will this variant "devel_" go away when 8.2.0 moves to http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/os/official/ ? I see a newer http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/os/candidate/766/ ; Friends_in_testing still suggests candidate-765. > http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/custom/g1g1/gg-765-2/ (G1G1 composite) I see a newer gg-766-3. But nobody has explained when or how you'd upgrade to a gg- build (is it for a clean-install with activities?), so I think it goes unmentioned on the wiki.
