Re: [Sugar-devel] Release policy and upgrades of sugar on laptops

2010-02-16 Thread Chris Ball
Hi Urso,

Question: if version 0.84 is shipped with these laptops, is it
possible to upgrade the XO to the version of the next release of
April? Can someone tell me how this is done or where to get this
information?

There's some confusion between XO releases and Sugar releases here.
Sugar releases happen every six months, and XO (OLPC OS) releases
happen less often -- they aren't strictly time-based, but major
releases have happened roughly once a year, and minor bugfix releases
happen as they're needed.

So, it's not the case that Sugar releases are incorporated into OLPC
releases immediately.  (In fact, for the XO-1.5 we chose to use Sugar
0.84 even though Sugar 0.86 had been released before our final release
happened, because we wanted a Sugar release that had seen more time
for bugfixes.)

You should talk with OLPC directly about how to handle your particular
situation, but I expect that you'll need to update the machines with
your translations when they arrive; we can give you some pointers on
how to do that.

- Chris.

I would like to simulate the XO-1.5 on my XO-1, to see how my activities 
perform on the XO-1.5. (I'm particularly interested in how the fonts 
display.)

What are my options?

A recent F11 for XO-1 build ... these tend to show the same font
behaviours as the F11 for XO-1.5 builds.
