No, we haven't pulled it in; right now we are so late in the cycle that we are only looking at fixing important regressions. However, we are also taking some fixes where the both the fix itself and the test case are trivial. I presume this is the fix: http://cgit.sugarlabs.org/abacus/mainline.git/commit/?id=d0e39b9a2976e6a579136e196f9cd1d6086a1d1d and it is indeed trivial. So, if you were to produce an Abacus-19.1 bundle, which is identical to v19 just with that one line of code added, and if you can accompany it with an easy test case, we would consider it for inclusion in next weeks' build. cheers Daniel ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

I can make you a 19.1, but the simple test case is a problem. You really had to work pretty hard to generate the error in first place. Let me see if I can come up with a systemic way of breaking v19.0. -walter > > cheers > Daniel > -- Walter Bender Sugar Labs http://www.sugarlabs.org ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

11.2.0 release candidate 3 (build 872) released
Hi, We're pleased to announce a further release candidate of our new 11.2.0 software release. Information and installation instructions can be found here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/11.2.0 Quick links for those who know which files need to be grabbed and save to USB disks: http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/os/candidate/872/ http://download.laptop.org/xo-1.5/os/candidate/872/ The recent problems with http://download.laptop.org should have been fixed. If you still have connectivity troubles, please let us know. This is a signed release candidate that can be installed on all XOs, even those with security enabled. We're looking for testing and feedback on all aspects of the system. Thanks for any help you can offer, and for all the feedback that has been received already. Our scheduled release date is July 18th. Since release candidate 2 (build 871) we have fixed the following issues: - Aleksey Lim fixed a problem with wireless activation from certain access points. - We're quite confident that we've nailed the occasional system hang on resume from suspend issue, related to the wireless hardware. - Read: navigation with the game keys, page up/down, home/end now works again. - Paint has updated translations. - Biology content bundle now works again under a Spanish configuration. Closed tickets: #10501 Read should setup dpad left/right to move document left/right #10949 Read activity does not support Home/End keys #10950 Page Up/Page Down keys in Read rock display when zoomed in, literally go to pages instead of display segments #10969 libertas data transmit lockup on resume #11032 Paint: translation updates, new Stamp icon #11034 Biology content bundle fails redirect in Spanish due to case sensitivity #11035 Activating code relies on starting AP MAC from a digit Thanks!

Re: ATTN: AbiWord 2.9.1 released!
while the first part stated your case, the second felt a little below the belt... I don't know the workload of OLPC but assuming infinite resources is probably unwise.

Let me offer some praise to soften what you saw as a low blow. OLPC's outreach to the Fedora upstream (as exemplified by the fine work done by Peter Robinson) remains strong and precisely the sort of upstream engagement that will bring Sugar / OLPC the resources it needs to leverage the impact of their limited internal resources with a broader community effort. I am particularly grateful to Peter for the work he is doing on SOAS5 and (from my personal perspective) anticipate that this will be a very important tool for helping the localizers that I seek to recruit experience Sugar (without XOs) and produce better localizations. Daniel Drake is doing critical (and more importantly, timely) work on exploring the path forward through the gtk2 > gtk3 PyGTK > PyGi changes coming from the GNOME upstream. I won't even pretend to understand Daniel's work on upstreaming kernel patches, but I do understand that it is of immense importance. Being something of a "virtual" distro producer is that challenge that OLPC has taken on by focusing on the hardware, but the one "resource" that is indispensable to OLPC is situational awareness of the complex and ever shifting software environment in which it operates. It is sadly a matter of record that OLPC has been bitten by upstream / supplier tools that did not necessarily work as advertised, I seem to recall wireless and touchpad related issues. It is my opinion that AbiWord is important, although I am aware that there has stirrings concerning OOo4kids. I posted the AbiWord announcement to the devel list in the spirit of raising awareness of important changes on the horizon in a package that OLPC should be monitoring (as well as celebrating the culmination of work OLPC initiated some time ago). cjl ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
glade.so missing from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2,0/gtk
Hi all, An application I am writing requires glade.so which exists in 862 (and I believe all previous builds), but missing in build 872. using mlocate verifies this difference-- "updatedb" "locate glade.so" succeeds in 860, and fails in 872. In my Activity "import gtk.glade" fails! George ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Re: glade.so missing from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2,0/gtk
Thanks. Raised #11053. Package pygtk2-libglade is what is missing, and was present in os860 (10.1.3). -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
OGG file testing
I've down-sampled a few OGG files for use with the UDHR content bundle at different rates. They can be found at this location in a zip file. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/File:OGG_tests.zip It would be very helpful if these could be tested on both XO-1 and XO-1.5 hardware. It is a judgement call balancing between file size and sound quality. Any feedback would be appreciated. cjl ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
