Sjoerd Simons at Collabora is looking at NM 0.7 for us. Currently we have lots of XO-specific patches (for msh0 etc) in NM 0.6.5 which were not sent/accepted upstream. Due to significant NM changes these patches cannot be applied to 0.7 so the work has to be redone and hopefully improved such that it is upstream-friendly. I can't seem to find a ticket for this. Secondly, Presence Service needs to be updated to handle API changes in NM: #6248 Regards Morgan ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

The problem is that the functionality was not carried forward upstream to 0.7. Anyway, Sjoerd has apparently completed the work porting the mesh functionality from 0.6 to 0.7. No more attention is needed in that area. What we need now is for someone to port the sugar components to use the new NetworkManager D-Bus API. NM 0.7 introduces a new D-Bus API and no longer supports the old one, which is what we use in sugar. I would love to work on this, but can't until the 28th. so if anyone wants to tackle it first I'm sure I could find SOMETHING else to work on then... bobby ... without breaking the existing use of 0.6, where that is available... ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
