[sugar] from [geeks] : NodeBox art, animation and visualization via Python

2007-12-10 Thread Samuel Klein


Has anyone used NodeBox?  It looks pretty fine.  It uses Cocoa via 
puObjC; not an immediate candidate for sugarization.  But a simple

bundle along these lins would be fun...

"NodeBox is a Mac OS X application that lets you create 2D visuals (static,

PDF or a QuickTime movie. NodeBox is free and well-documented."

check out: http://nodebox.net/code/index.php/Gallery

most examples have code available along with the screenshots. impressive how
tiny some of this code is.

Re: [sugar] idea for a tutorial recording activity

Do you mean we would then replay the inputs, perhaps using synthetic X
events?

I doubt very much that would produce a usable tutorial. It would rely
on all laptops behaving in precisely the same way every time, which is
unrealistic.

>From the tests I've run so far, I think pyvnc2swf may be workable, and
recordmydesktop might be workable as well (it isn't on a B2, but
Eduardo says it worked for him OK on a B4)

I'll experiment some more when I get a B4, and see if I can prove the
concept some more.

[sugar] Fwd: joyride smoke test results?

2007-12-10 Thread Eduardo H Silva
I keep forgetting to reply to the list. I was having the same problems with
the latests joyrides, and one by one downgraded using "olpc-update" until I
found a joyride where everything is working (browse, record,etc.), 1381.

It looks like the last joyride test that went through the 1 hour smoke test was 
Joyride 1372. Unfortunately, joyride builds come out faster than they can be 
tested. Pretty soon we hope to have the results of tinderbox determine whether 
we post a joyride build or not. One of the things tinderbox does is try to load 
each activity. This will catch these big regressions very quickly. cscott is 
also working on making some headless tests that will be run on builds in order 
to find major bugs right off the bat. Also, mstone is working on Buildbot to do 
additional testing.

If you have access to the teamwiki, the minutes from the testing meeting we had 
about this are here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/TestMtg%2C_2007-12-02

It looks like some things work and some don't.  I tried Chat, Connect,

There are some sugar rpms that are missing, which have caused a lot of 
activities to fail to launch, mostly becuase of Attribute errors. I believe our 
new build manager is aware of this, and is working on getting those rpms back 
into joyride.

Were you able to get browse or record to load? Those are two which won't load 
for me on 1394, which should be the same as 1395 based on the changelogs 
(http://dev.laptop.org/~bert/joyride-pkgs.html), but that's not for certain.

Yeppa, we definitely want to integrate something like that in one of the

However seeing how much work we have 'round here it might be some time 
before we actually get 'round to doing that.

Maybe someone already knows how to do that and can write a quick'n'dirty

It looks like some of the modules which had the update-1 branch
previously do not have it now. Eg: chat-activity shows only ship-2,
trial-3 and the master branches. Sugar, Journal activity on the other
hand seems to have update-1 branches.

Which modules have the update-1 branch now ?

Thanks,

There's a brief overview of the chapters that we're thinking to include 
over on http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Hacking_Sugar#Programming_Sugar

Basically the activity handbook should end up being something like all 
those "learning  in 21 days" types of 
documents. We really want to guide programmers who have no prior 
knowledge of OLPC, Sugar, etc. in being able to write activities for the XO.
> Can I join in?

In order to preserve the coherence that we aim to achieve with the 
handbook (as opposed to the mess on the Wiki) we have decided to limit 
the number of contributors for the moment being. That will allow us to 
create the necessary structure and basis before releasing it into the wild.

At the moment we think that we'll make the first public release of the 
handbook in mid-January So stay tuned!

Re: [sugar] [Localization] Branch rename, update-1 -> ship-2

2007-12-10 Thread Sayamindu Dasgupta
Hi,
Ok - so my reading is, the Update 1 (Core) project that we were doing
stays - and Ship 2 has already been dealt with, and from a
translator's point of view, we need not worry much about Ship-2.
(Apologies if I sound confused)

Also, it looks like the branch renaming confused git at the Pootle end:


[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/checkouts/update1_core/write$ git pull
You asked me to pull without telling me which branch you
want to merge with, and 'branch.update-1.merge' in
your configuration file does not tell me either.  Please
name which branch you want to merge on the command line and
try again (e.g. 'git pull  ').
See git-pull(1) for details on the refspec.

If you often merge with the same branch, you may want to
configure the following variables in your configuration
file:

branch.update-1.remote = 
branch.update-1.merge = 
remote..url = 
remote..fetch = 

See git-config(1) for details.


Can anyone tell me how to fix this ?
Warm regards,
Sayamindu

I'd like to see some documentation on how to integrate a non-Python
activity into sugar.  It certainly has been done, but it seems
shrouded in the black art of the pygtk binding.  Maybe a "C Hello
World" example would be nice, which contains the minimum python glue

Well - you can have a system where there are source code example
directories for each locale. So, when Pippy starts in with LANG set to
es, it would load the files which are in examples/es

(graphic files are loaded from locale specific directories)

A script which extracts the translated comment from relevant PO files
and builds the locale specific source code files should not be very
difficult to write (If you want - I can try it out towards the end of
this week).

We are using a system where we have a directory (update1_core) where
all the modules which have an update-1 branch are kept (with the
active branch being update-1). Pootle sees a file called
translations/update-1/xx/module.po which is a symlink to
checkouts/update-1/modules/po/xx.po. Thus Pootle thinks that Update 1
(Core) is a single project with multiple PO files to translate.
We have a few scripts to handle this symlinking and to ensure sanity
(no invalid links, no non-symlink files in translations/).
This makes things a bit complicated at our end, but makes the job of
the translation coordinator for a particular team easy, and it is also
easy to gather overall statistics.

For the activity updater (trac #4951), we will need to include a
'real' manifest with file hashes; this may also be used in the
activity signing code.  However, I expect the bundle builder to
generate this 'contents' file automatically.  The short answer, I
think, is that the MANIFEST is used to configure bundle-builder; it
shouldn't be required in the final .xo (although a related 'contents'
files will be automatically generated there).

Thanks, this is already a hint that sugar-jhbuild on 64 bit works in 
general.

I'm running sugar-jhbuild from about a week ago on an AMD64 Gentoo box. 
No such error encountered.  Did have a problem with dbus-python's
"types" module causing a conflict with the built-in types, but just
ignoring the error (it's non-critical) let me complete.

HTH,
Mike

To get around the CPU and storage constraints, wouldn't simply  
recording input events along with voice-over be much better?

[sugar] sugar-jhbuild matchbox 64bit

2007-12-10 Thread Simon Schampijer
Hi,

I am trying to get sugar-jhbuild running on my 64bit F8 machine and get 
Incorrect params errors in the theme:

Matchbox: error parsing 
/home/erikos/sugar-jhbuild/build/share/themes/sugar/matchbox/theme.xml
Incorrect Params in 
Matchbox: error parsing 
/home/erikos/sugar-jhbuild/build/share/themes/Default/matchbox/theme.xml
Incorrect Params in 

After googeling I found an email of marco asking for the output of these 
commands answering a question to the same issue:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] sugar]$ Xephyr :2 -ac &
[1] 10359
[EMAIL PROTECTED] sugar]$ Extended Input Devices not yet supported. 
Impelement it at line 625 in kinput.c

[EMAIL PROTECTED] sugar]$ DISPLAY=:2 matchbox-window-manager
Matchbox: error parsing 
/home/erikos/sugar-jhbuild/build/share/themes/Default/matchbox/theme.xml
Incorrect Params in 

For sugar on a 64bit system it says (already a bit outdated) it is not 
working 
(http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar_on_Ubuntu_Linux#On_64-bit_Linux_.28not_working.29),
 
anyone done this already?

Thanks,
Simon
