[Sugar-devel] New Dextrose 2 build: os438dx

2011-01-08 Thread Bernie Innocenti 
This release of Dextrose 2 is intended for beta testing. Images for the
XO-1 and XO-1.5 can be downloaded here:

  http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Dextrose

I've not bothered uploading GNOME-enabled images, since Paraguay does
not use it. I could be convinced to generate them if it's needed by a
deployment for evaluation purposes only.

The major highlight in this release is a simple automated updater based
on yum which will hopefully enable us to deploy small updates
effortlessly. The final release should be ready by Feb 22, when schools
reopen in Paraguay, and if the updater works well we'll be able to fix
any remaining bugs post-release. This build also includes a refresh of
the new activity updater which supports the "OLPC microformat" protocol.
Please test both these features vigorously.

This release is missing several Sugar fixes that went into OLPC 10.1.3
over the last weeks. The queue of patches waiting to be merged in
Dextrose is quite long and new features have to take precedence so they
can get tested early on. We also have some small features that we hope
to merge in time for this release. Consult the todo list for more
information.

Well, as it happens, I just spotted Emiliano's new repository and
commit. It looks exactly like what I was planning to do!

The meat is at
http://git.sugarlabs.org/turtleart/nxt-support/commit/69da7620d1d5ec0560f344c5b52859c9a534d8a6

Emiliano, you're ahead of me! Tell us more about your project!

Yes, James, sorry, we need a Get Books component in trac.
Btw, why we have a "Get Internet Archive Books" and a "Get Books"
activities?
Is not better have only one?

Re: [Sugar-devel] Colors! Activity status

2011-01-08 Thread chm 

Hi Wade-

I was wondering how the Colors! v16 release was
coming along?  Now that os860 is available I'll
build the linuxwacom against that version and
send you the update so maybe the Colors-16 could
be available for the official 10.1.3 release.

Cheers,
Chris

Looks like I tagged v16 in Git last January, but somehow it never made
it to ASLO.  I'll take care of that now!!

I just checked and the Colors-15 I have has neither
the Help button or the Eraser (in addition to the
missing videopaint---which was never working before
either).

I'll try to fetch the activity again in case there
was some mixup. Is there a way to check out the
latest release from git?

Thanks,
Chris

I think this was assigned to me by mistake.  The bug appears to be in
Get Books, not Get Internet Archive Books.
