6. Committer list 
  Please list the maintainer (lead developer) as the first entry. Only list 
  developers who need to be given accounts so that they can commit to your

  project's code repository, or push their own. There is no need to list
  non-committer developers.

  If any developers don't have their SSH2 keys on the web, please attach them

7. Preferred development model

  [X] Central tree. Every developer can push his changes directly to the 
  project's git tree. This is the standard model that will be familiar to 
  CVS and Subversion users, and that tends to work well for most projects.


  [ ] Maintainer-owned tree. Every developer creates his own git tree, or
  multiple git trees. He periodically asks the maintainer to look at one
  or more of these trees, and merge changes into the maintainer-owned,
  "main" tree. This is the model used by the Linux kernel, and is 
  well-suited to projects wishing to maintain a tighter control on code

  entering the main tree.

  If you choose the maintainer-owned tree model, but wish to set up some
  shared trees where all of your project's committers can commit directly, 
  as might be the case with a "discussion" tree, or a tree for an individual 
  feature, you may send us such a request by e-mail, and we will set up the 
  tree for you.


8. Set up a project mailing list:

  [ ] Yes, named after our project name
  [ ] Yes, named __
  [X] No

  When your project is just getting off the ground, we suggest you eschew
  a separate mailing list and instead keep discussion about your project
  on the main OLPC development list. This will give you more input and 
  potentially attract more developers to your project; when the volume of 
  messages related to your project reaches some critical mass, we can 
  trivially create a separate mailing list for you.


  If you need multiple lists, let us know. We discourage having many 
  mailing lists for smaller projects, as this tends to

  stunt the growth of your project community. You can always add more lists
  later.

9. Commit notifications

  [ ] Notification of commits to the main tree should be e-mailed to the list
  we chose to create above
  [ ] A separate mailing list, -git, should be created for commit
  notifications
  [X] No commit notifications, please

10. Shell accounts

  As a general rule, we don't provide shell accounts to developers unless 
  there's a demonstrated need. If you have one, please explain here, and

  list the usernames of the committers above needing shell access.

11. Translation
  [X] Set up the laptop.org Pootle server to allow translation commits to be 
made
  [ ] Translation arrangements have already been made at ___

I've already made a page on the wiki. But I plan to rebuild sugar on a 
clean Slackware installation (mine wasn't exactly fresh, I already had 
lots dependencies) to document this more in detail.

Sugar on Slackware 12.0

2007-12-24 Thread Cesare Marilungo
I just wanted to report that I've sucessfully got sugar built and 
running on Slackware 12.

Of course there are a lot of dependencies to install (gstreamer and 
friends, some gnome libs) and some library to update if you start from a 
fresh Slackware installation. But sugar is not so hard to build in 
distros other than Fedora and Ubuntu, really.

I did:

sugar-jhbuild update
sugar-jhbuild built

and then I compiled and installed the missing libraries and the python 
modules.

The most tricky part was Xephyr, which was missing. Since I didn't want 
to mess with my xorg installation I just took xorg-server-1.3.0.0 source 
(which is the version that ships with Slackware 12) and compiled it with:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/xserver-xephyr 
--exec-prefix=/usr/local/xserver-xephyr --enable-kdrive --enable-xephyr 
&& make && make install

Then I made a symbolic link to xephyr in /usr/local/bin.

Should I add this infos on the wiki?

Cheers,

-c.

I don't know if these instructions will work for others. Anyway:

I've followed the infos on the wiki to prepare a usb key with latest 
firmware and build image.

Then, from the open firmware prompt (ok is the prompt, it is not part of 
the command):

ok flash u:\boot\q2d07.rom

This updated the firmware. Then I did:

ok copy-nand u:\boot\os653.img

to update the image.

Cheers,

Updating a B4 machine for the first time

2007-12-21 Thread Cesare Marilungo
Hi,
I just received a B4 machine and I am a bit puzzled by the info in the 
wiki about updating to the latest build.

The developer console says:
OLPC Build: None.
Firmware: None.

and there isn't any 'olpc-update' script. There's no /security directory 
also.

I have a wireless network (WPA encrypted) which is not seen at the 
moment. So I need to use a Usb key.

I just need to test an activity I'm developing so I guess I can use the 
stable build.

How should I update the machine without risking to brick it?

Thanks in advance.

Cesare
