Any other deployments in sight? The current interest from Paraguay is a simple way to do a full restore after a reflash, which is currently outside of Martin's work (I believe). I hacked some scripts together which have been installed on the XOs, they can be used by the technicians and hopefully even the more advanced teachers/children. Ideally further development work is needed here, probably at the sugar level (some kind of utility which displays all available backups, allows full restore of any one of them, etc). We haven't yet seen any demand for a single-file restore feature and are not offering this on the XS-0.5.2's that we are deploying. However who knows which needs will appear once the laptops are delivered to the children next week!

I think Paraguay were interested in deploying backups, are they going to use this code or further development is needed by them? Any other deployments in sight?

And an rpm, so if you want to play with it yum --enablerepo=olpcxs-testing install moodle-xs The version at this point is: moodle-xs-1.9.2.xs2.45.g136e4d cheers, martin -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
