Working with dsd and bert I changed Activities http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/G1G1/8.2 to transclude Activities/Record_(8.2) instead of Activities/Record-G1G1. That allowed them to update the latter as dsd says. They requested I also made the change for several other activities that have forked from 8.2: Browse, Chat, Etoys, Read. I think the http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/Peru page needs the same fix -- it should not be loading Browse (latest). I don't understand why all activities on the 8.2 page aren't set this way. They should not pull in the latest version, they should pull in the (8.2) version. But a lot of the (8.2) fragments are out of date, they don't list the latest version that works on 8.2.0. Also, I'm not sure what the point of the -G1G1 files are. Currently, Activities/G1G1 transcludes Activities/Record-G1G1 , which redirects to Activities/Record_(latest). But there is no G1G1 version of any activity, there are simply pages for each activity group that pull in either the version that works in 8.2 or the latest version. Why mention -G1G1? Rather than explain it here, it should be somewhere on the wiki, referred to by http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Software_updater I also rewrote the explanation in http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/G1G1/8.2 , statements like They are part of the G1G1 activity pack are simply incorrect.

proposal for updating Activities/Joyride page
Hi, http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/Joyride is out of date. Some activities, e.g. Record and Read, need new versions listed which are not backwards compatible with 8.2. The current listed versions are included because of Joyride including Activities/G1G1 which includes Activities/Record-G1G1, but if I were to modify that then Activities/G1G1/8.2 would be modified too, causing broken upgrades for 8.2 users. So, I propose these changes: 1. Record-G1G1 is copied to Record-G1G1-8.2 2. Activities/G1G1/8.2 is updated to use Record-G1G1-8.2 3. Record-G1G1 is updated to point to the newest version, which is only compatible with 9.1 I'm happy to do this except I can't do step 2 (the 8.2 page is locked). Any comments before I beg SJ for access? Daniel ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
