Re: [Sugar-devel] Write fails to launch

2013-11-17 Thread Daniel Narvaez
Peter, is it possible to get 3.0 in Fedora 19 now that the issue is solved?

I've seen the change in git but I don't see an rpm, not even in
updates-testing. (Hopefully it's not just me being a bit clueless about
Fedora...).

Re: [Sugar-devel] TamTamMini

2013-11-17 Thread Sebastian Silva

In Flavio's defense, I'd like to restructure this conversation.

Undoubtedly, he's put great effort in this work.

From a deployment's point of view, it's a contribution.

From Gonzalo's POV, it's a burden because Flavio hasn't taken up 
learning to master Git.
From Localizer's POV it's a burden because, in their view, it implies 
double the strings.

These are representatives up upstream.

In my humble opinion, the situation is out of balance. We cannot dismiss 
contributions
merely because people have not learnt all the tools. This also goes for 
localization team,
because really, from a friendly fork's POV, doing a simple msgmerge 
command imports

all of the necessary translations from upstream (or the other way around).
In any case, the amount of user visible strings in TamTamMini is negligible.

I spent the last month trying to get mantainers to respond to requests 
to update
GTK2 branches with translations, with barely any response except Manuq 
and Gonzalo,

and only the first actually took action on my request.

Really, things could be simpler for downstream, especially 
Activity-wise. Sugar per
se is a different matter because luckily, we have Daniel Narvaez, but 
who knows

how long he'll put up with us.

The Sugar Network's proposed workflow is that anybody can upload a 
bundle. It is
not mandatory that everything has to be just right. I would encourage 
Flavio, who has
already offered, to mantain a fork of TamTamMini with his changes, in 
git, and either
create a new Activity Id and name for it or we can see about the new 
features in
Sugar Network/ASLO that will enable non-mantainer uploads. For the case 
where
alternative implementations of the same activity exist, by default the 
system will

offer the one from the original author.

If the activity really works better, perhaps we will even include it in 
Hexoquinasa, our

downstream of Platform Team's Deployment Platform, built for Perú.

Love for TamTam Suite really is welcome from this side of the island.

Sebastian

 From Gonzalo's POV, it's a burden because Flavio hasn't taken up learning to

Mastering certain elements of git are essential to contribute to a
pre-existing longstanding core element of Sugar like TamTam.

Localizers are not upstream representatives, they are downstream

Re: [Sugar-devel] TamTamMini

2013-11-17 Thread Gonzalo Odiard
Sebastian,

I think you are not understanding the problem.

Of course, anybody can fork and upload another activity, but that is
nightmare
on the long run, to maintainers and to users.
Imagine how good for users will be have different versions of the
activities,
some running, some not, depending of different situations.

You say From Gonzalo's POV, it's a burden because Flavio hasn't taken up
learning to master Git.

That is not the problem. The problem is invest a lot of work in one activity
without even trying to communicate with the maintainer and agree in a way
to solve
the different problems.

By example: the activity need changes to run in a Magallanes,
then what is the best option? is that solution good for other activities?
need be solved in the activity or in the toolkit?
Is the best option maintain activities forked?

If you ask me, I don't know, probably talking with Flavio, can understand
better the problem/s and find a solution, but without communication,
is impossible.

I don't think we are dismissing contributions at all  here. The way I read

Gonzalo: As we already discussed, this is not a good way to submit
contributions. You should do this and that.
Flavio: Yes, I know this is not a good way, that's why I didn't post
patches. On the other hand, why I don't just take  maintenance of the
module over?

I suspect Gonzalo didn't take this too badly because he didn't write
TamTam. But in most free software project this behaviour would have been
seen as insulting to the maintainer.

Gonzalo offered to work with Flavio to get his work submitted properly. I
hope Flavio takes that offer, showing it was all just a misunderstanding.
Happy to help out with that btw if needed, I know Gonzalo is busy

[Sugar-devel] When to switch sugar-build to Fedora 20

2013-11-17 Thread Daniel Narvaez
Hello,

does anyone have strong opinions on when we should switch sugar-build to
use Fedora 20?

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/20/Schedule

I was sort of considering to do it now, to make Write work. It should be
pretty stable, especially since we don't use kernel, X server etc.

As far as I know no one is working on F19 based stuff (?). Mostly worried
about Google Code-In. I suppose better to do it before or after it.

It has been pretty stable for both Sugar and in general, we're post

 Absolutely. My issue was not just access to the repositories but the

[Sugar-devel] SoaS v10 testing and a few minor issues with 0.100

2013-11-17 Thread Peter Robinson
Hi All,

Just a reminder that SoaS v10 beta [1] is out for both x86 and ARM and
testing and feedback would be absolutely fabulous. I believe it's one
of our strongest and best releases to date.

Just a few minor issues to report with 0.100 on Fedora 20.

Firstly the in About Computer it's still reporting 0.99 as the version.

Secondly, a minor annoyance with sugar-runner is that the shutdown
and reboot options in the menu should likely be disabled when sugar
is being run in sugar-runner (leaving just logout) because it takes
the main desktop with it without any noticed that it might do that.

sugar-runner isn't used in the spin, it's used in the General

environment whether as an enduser or developer so a kickstart here is
completely irrelevant and doesn't even come into play

[Sugar-devel] Jukebox, reorder capability to playlist

2013-11-17 Thread Agustin Zubiaga Sanchez
Hi everyone!

I am thinking in add this feature to Jukebox [1], in the next days for GCI
2013, but I need some tips about how implementing it (design).
Some time ago I did some similar for Chart [2], with two simple arrow
buttons [3] that work with the selected item.
But in Jukebox, when you change the selection, it plays the selected item,
and then this method won't work because you have to change the current
playing track to reorder the list.

So, what can I do?
Use double-click to play the track and implement that feature like in
Chart, or do something like drag and drop (I think it isn't a good idea)?
I want you opinions :)

Were these tickets in Sugar Labs bug tracker?  Or are you tracking

 Can you check on this GIT:
 http://git.sugarlabs.org/arduino

git://git.sugarlabs.org/arduino/mainline.git

Thanks, reviewed.  I see the changes.

The repository name arduino seems too short.  Perhaps this
repository should be named turtleblocks-arduino?

The boards.py file added in db6e133 does not contain the Arduino Pro
Mini used by the ProtoSnap.  Is that important?

Ian Daniher's repository is a fork of your repository from 2013-06-18,
hash ec0719f.  Ian's change in de87b83 looks cleaner than your change
in 9655ec5 but both achieve a similar effect.  You may wish to take
Ian's change instead.

 About installation: the process described is correct but have their
 problems, for example: git is not installed by default on XO. And in
 some places like Uruguay, you don't have root access to install
 anything.

Yes.

The lack of git can be worked around using a ZIP download from github.

https://github.com/itdaniher/turtleblocks-arduino/archive/de87b830207701eccc2503ff7c5ae4a931a73186.zip

But still, can't install ino or make without root.  So this method is
unavailable to Uruguay post-deployment.

 Other option is use the option Load plugin of TurtleBlocks that
 install automatically the plugin selected (only you need download a
 .tar.gz into the Sugar Journal and press Load Plugin and it was
 installed).

No, that is insufficient, you still need to load the firmware into the
Arduino.

 But that are a bit complicated... To solve that, we package the
 Arduino plugin (and others like Lego NxT, Lego WeDo, etc)
 with TurtleBlocks in a new activity called TurtleBots:
 http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4434
 
 I'm not have a board to test, someone can test it???

I've downloaded turtlebots-22.xo but there is no firmata firmware in
it, so this does not achieve any of the more fundamental and important
steps in http://wiki.laptop.org/go/ProtoSnap_Contributors_Guide

I suggest these steps can be done by pre-building the StandardFirmata
sketch for various Arduino, and packaging both the binary output of
these builds _and_ an activity local copy of avrdude for programming
it into the Arduino board.

.uy deployment may also add packages ino, git and make in next
season's build.

Hi,

I'm not sure to understand your concern. We default to true, so keep the
same behavior. sugar-runner will set the environment variables to no
disabling the items only for sugar-runner and not when running from gdm.

Can you explain what's the issue exactly?

None at all now that I know sugar-runner is responsible for overriding
the defaults that might appear in the schema, and not relying on gconf
keys to be present in the user environment.

  binary output of these builds _and_ an activity local copy of
  avrdude for programming it into the Arduino board.
 
  .uy deployment may also add packages ino, git and make in next
  season's build.
 
 Maybe we need do an activity for that.

On the other hand, the demand is low.  A teacher could program the
firmware.  It only needs to be done once.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Jukebox, reorder capability to playlist

In theory, reorder in the treeview could be enabled and drag  drop should
work.

 Yes, that's true...It will look strange but is better than double-click.

  So, what can I do?
  Use double-click to play the track and implement that feature like in
  Chart, or do something like drag and drop (I think it isn't a good
 idea)?
  I want you opinions :)

 Sugar was one of the first interfaces with no double-click. Specially now,
 running it on touch devices, forget the idea of double-click.
 Drag and drop is what most music players do for this case.
 If Drag and Drop doesn't look nice with TreeViews on Sugar, it could be a
 bug
 in sugar-artwork and we are in the right moment to make a design proposal
 :)

 Daniel.

 Hi All,

 Just a reminder that SoaS v10 beta [1] is out for both x86 and ARM and
 testing and feedback would be absolutely fabulous. I believe it's one
 of our strongest and best releases to date.


 Awesome!


 Just a few minor issues to report with 0.100 on Fedora 20.

 Firstly the in About Computer it's still reporting 0.99 as the version.


 Yeah :/ We have this fixed in git already. Gonzalo is going to take care
 of stable 0.100.x releases. I'm ccing him, perhaps he can explain his plans.



We fixed thiss in master, and I pushed the change to the sucrose-0.100
branch too.
I will take care of this branch for australia deployment, just pushing all
the fixes
we think are important.

Got a link to the commit? Also what are your plans for 0.100.x
releases? If there's reasonable amount of fixes there now it would be
useful to get a point release soon so I can land it before F-20
freeze.
