For 8.1, http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Bert%27s_script would automatically download and install "latest" versions of activities compatible with 8.1, but it looks like the page that drives it, http://mock.laptop.org/repos/local.update1/XOS/index.html , hasn't been updated for a while. If the activity developer has somehow learned how to update activity versions (again I ask *is this documented anywhere?!*) then she can use 'edit with form' tab on her activity's page to check off, for multiple versions, all the releases they work on. E.g. the bottom of http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Chat has: Activity version number: 40 The releases with which this version of the activity has been tested. 8.1.1 (708) > We just need someone to create G1G1/8.1 (for build 7xx) and G1G1/7.1 > (for build 65x) pages on the wiki, with appropriate content. As I understand it releases prior to 8.2.0 lack the Software Update control panel, so such a page would only be for users to read. *If* all activity developers knew which version worked on say 8.1.0 and put this in their activity's page, then the wiki would have the needed info for such a G1G1/8.1 page. Unfortunately, the current implementation of the form and templates for activities means you can't simply run a query to "show the version and URL of all activities that are flagged as working on 8.1.0." The best a query can do is show you a list of _potential_ versions for 8.1.0 -- see <http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Skierpage#Activity_versions_for_a_particular_release> Some day I'll write a proposal to make this work better for activity maintainers and users, but I don't fully understand what's already present... -- =S _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
