Re: Signed 648 (ship.2 release candidate)
Hi, Kim, To start, I think it will be great to be on the olpc irc channel. We can also start an olpc-support channel and there are some people working on a 'community-support' mailing list (please sign up if you like). I signed up the mailing list. But the IRC is not what the Chat activity on the XO uses, right? As we get more organized we'll post other ways that people can help to answer questions and provide support. Great! Thanks for asking! Well, I know I'm asking for trouble. But at the same time I'm curious to see. -- Yoshiki ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

No, I don't think I would recommend that in all cases. Having the developer key in /security is entirely equivalent, and lets you easily turn on and off 'insecure boot' (by moving or renaming the file) while you are developing, which is probably best if you are just a casual developer and want to be able to return to a stable build and give the machine to a kid to play with. With insecure boot, you don't get automatic firmware updates with build images, and you lose pretty boot. You can re-enable secure boot for a single boot only by turning on power with the 'X' key held down. Anyway, one should decide whether to permanently disable security on a case-by-case basis; I wouldn't make a blanket recommendation. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Draft Schedule for Update.1.
The need for Ship.2 interrupted buttoning down Update.1. So here's a revamped schedule for comment. Note if we have blockers open for the release we will not release until either we've fixed the blockers (or revisit the functionality). The build Tzar for Update.1 will be Dennis Gilmore. Note that we are working increasingly hard on keeping schedule and contents of releases, major fixes and goals of releases in the roadmap in trac, found at: http://dev.laptop.org/roadmap. You should refer to that whenever you have questions or issues. Schedule (currently tentative, not yet ratified). These dates need coordination with Quanta and subject to change.: * String Freeze (for translations): 12/8/07 * Code Freeze: 12/15/07 * Refresh packages to pick up translations 12/19/07 * First Candidate Release (RC1): 12/21/07 * Second Candidate Release (RC2): 1/4/08 * Release of Update.1: 1/11/08 * Quanta manufacturing start: 1/21/08 Since previous releases, we now have an active and growing community of translators working hard. If you look at the projects in https://dev.laptop.org/translate/ you will see serious work to translate the UI using Pootle thanks to the hard work of Sayamindu Dasgupta and Xavier Alvarez with help from Alfonso de la Guarda. For translations to be coordinated we need to add some dates to the schedule; for UI elements to be translated, and a chance to update activities to pull in translations after string freeze. Note that activity developers should only be fixing key bugs from code freeze until when we'd like updated activities with translations. Comments? Issues? Concerns?

The differences between the linutop and the xo are considerable, especially in relation to the display controller (DCON), but also in terms of power management, keyboard, e-book position sensing, and so on. The memory is likely to be different type, therefore bandwidth. There is no internal jffs2 NAND flash. To be fair, he didn't actually ask for any of those things. The original poster was more interested in software performance then anything - and in that regard, the Linutop is very similar to the MP hardware (it even uses LinuxBIOS, which isn't OFW, granted, but its not propriatary BIOS evilness either). I think that would be great to have some version of the Sugar code that runs on other Geode platforms that are easier to get worldwide. Sure, you're not going to get the DCON or other custom XO hardware, but you will get pretty close - at least close enough to do reasonable work. Thanks for the input, guys. As Jordan identified, I was pitching more towards getting some hardware that has performance in the same ballpark as the XO (I realise it couldn't be an XO). I was trying to get a feel for how the code runs. I suspect the machines I have are too powerful to be realistic when running sugar- jhbuild, and maybe not powerful enough when running under emulation...

Agreed.
There were mumblings about including a minimalist IRC client that could
automatically connect to freenode/OLPC channels. The developer console was
the original home. Our thinking was that, to really involved XO users with
true development, access to the tools and communication mediums that the
current developers use is important.
Maybe it should be tied to getting a developer key. When you get approved
for a developer key, information about how to use it (and what you can use
it for), along with common tools (vi, irc, etc) that could prove useful.
Come to think of it, a hey, you know have permissions to install custom
kernels, would you like a gcc build environment installed? [YES/no] might
be a sub-optimal idea given our target audience. :)

Re: joyride, ship.1 etc.
Hi Sameer, Can someone point me to a document that explains what the flow is with respect to these branches (these are branches I presume) and what will be shipped on the G1G1 machines, Ceibal project, etc.? I'm not sure whether this is in a wiki page; perhaps someone could start one. Here's a summary: * Ship.1 is build623, and was preloaded on all MP machines for a while. It isn't preloaded on new machines, and any machine with it installed should since have been updated to Ship.2. It was released around 1st Nov. It will mostly not be seen by the outside world at all. * Ship.2 is build649, and will be the build received by G1G1 recipients, as well as the Uruguay Ceibal users. (Actually, Uruguay is using a slightly custom build, but it's based on Ship.2.) It was released around 1st Dec. * Update.1 is not released, and is being worked on in the joyride branch. After code freeze, scheduled for around 2007-12-15, a copy of the joyride branch will be made and named update.1, and any development that isn't targeting Update.1 can continue in joyride. Update.1 release is scheduled for mid January, as seen on the roadmap: http://dev.laptop.org/roadmap The roadmap also contains the feature goals for Update.1. Machines can be automatically upgraded (preserving user data) from Ship.2 to Update.1 after release. * Joyride can be thought of as synonymous with trunk or HEAD or unstable, much like the Debian/unstable distribution. I'm not one of the build masters -- perhaps they could follow up and correct me if I've misunderstood something. Hope that helps, - Chris. -- Chris Ball [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Fake mesh over IP.
Is there any fake mesh-over-ip protocol? Basically if - as with most of the G1G1 laptops - you're out of range of any other laptops, is there any way to fake a mesh? For example, you enter a (perhaps fake) lat/lon, and a you get a virtual radio that has a 100Km range. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Re: Fake mesh over IP.
Hi Ian, I think that you're rather interested on the presence service and activity sharing. That can be done independently of the mesh range, as it relies (in the infrastructure mode) on jabber servers. I guess there will be designated server(s) for G1G1 recipients, but that can be manually configured if necessary.

Re: joyride, ship.1 etc.
Ship.1 == build 623, on initial MP systems. Now being upgraded in the field. Ship.2 == build 649, released last Friday, now in production from Quanta as of this Monday. Will be on all G1G1 machines. Update.1 == build TBD, now being put together. Should be released sometime in January. - Jim On Tue, 2007-12-04 at 13:07 -0800, Sameer Verma wrote: Can someone point me to a document that explains what the flow is with respect to these branches (these are branches I presume) and what will be shipped on the G1G1 machines, Ceibal project, etc.?

Official signed ship.2 candidate 650
Official signed images for build 650 are now at: http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/os/official/650/jffs2/ You can also use: olpc-update 650 but be aware that build 650 fixes an open firmware bug which could cause your machine to fail to boot after you upgrade. That said, *please try using olpc-update*, because we need to get an idea of how common the failures are (we have not found them to be very common). If your boot fails after you olpc-update, do an alt boot by pressing O when you power-on to restore to your previous OS version and manually flash the firmware to q2d06, which should fix the problem. The firmware will not automatically update from the build unless you are using secure boot; if you have security disabled on your machine, boot with 'X' held down to do a one-time-only secure boot, which should automatically reflash the firmware for you. You must have a battery *and* AC power present before OFW will attempt to reflash the firmware. Since this is an emergency release for ship.2, with very little lead time, please help us test 650. It should be identical to build 649 except for the firmware (and I have manually gone through a file-by-file diff to check this) but bugs can creep in. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
