The fact that the auto-install wasn't working was due to me not having
the right mime types configured on my web server.

Things seem to be okay now, I've written up my experiences and added
them to the wiki:

Agreed! In fact, Lauren Klein is (AFAIK) working on such a tool right
now in addition to much better documentation on this process and the
format of the content bundles. I've CCed Lauren. Perhaps she can fill
you in on the status of that work.

I'm on vacation and traveling now and am a little unplugged from the
whole process and status of thing.

Great. Thanks for your help.

Yes - the download seemed to succeed, but the content never showed up,
so I was trying to fault isolate.   It'd be really nice for someone to
build a "bundle verification" suite for content as well as activities
that is a bit more verbose on errors.

It was in the Library Grid wiki page, I can update it once I validate
the process.

Strange. It should exist or should be created when you try to install an XOL.

> - let alone a /home/olpc/Library/makeindex.py

This is incorrect. The file is /usr/share/library-common/make_index.py
and it's been there since Ship.2

Where did you find this documentation? It seems either very out of date
or simply incorrect.

Adding content to the XO

2008-01-02 Thread Eric Van Hensbergen
I'm running with a stock laptop from the G1G1 program, the
instructions on the library grid (in the wiki) don't seem to match
what I see on my XO -- there is no /home/olpc/Library - let alone a
/home/olpc/Library/makeindex.py

Is there an update I have to do, or someplace where I can grab makeindex.py?
