No.  Because of very limited resources.  I don't know of any test
environment setup procedure or test cases.

Yes.  Remove [sugar] from .ini file.

Yes, we use Fedora 18 with olpc-os-builder on an XO-4 to generate
these Fedora 20 builds.  So to do deployments.

This is not unusual, we've done it before.  I'd call it distribution
release cross-building.  It isn't architecture cross-compiling, that
remains elusive.

We'd like to use Fedora 20, but cannot because of random heap
corruption shown by yum or python:

There's a risk this random corruption may affect normal use, but we
haven't seen that yet.  "yum update" isn't something we need to
support.

2014-09-27 Thread Tim Moody

A couple of questions:

Do you do regression testing of the client side of XS functionality, such as 
idmgr registration, and if so, what server do you use?


Do you think it is feasible to build a minimal Fedora 20 with keyboard, 
console on the screen, wifi support, and usb support?


http://wiki.laptop.org/go/14.1.0 says olpc-os-builder is on Fedora 18.  Is 
that a copy error or is cross-compiling possible?

Subject: [UKids] Announcing the development of OLPC OS 14.1.0

Announcing our next release cycle:

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/14.1.0

Our goal is to combine Fedora 20 with Sugar 0.102, on XO-1.75, and
with dual-core and OpenGL support on XO-4.

An early development signed build for XO-4 is available, build #2:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/14.1.0

Several problems have been identified and ticketed already:
http://dev.laptop.org/report/51

The most significant are:

- many keyboard and front panel keys do not respond correctly,

- the Write activity and GNOME are missing, because they don't work,

- ad-hoc networks may be partitioned when they should coalesce.

Test reports are welcome on devel@lists.laptop.org thanks.

We encourage community developers to use our olpc-os-builder
repository to publish XO-1 and XO-1.5 builds of Fedora 20 with Sugar
0.102, and we can offer advice on that via the mailing lists.
