Re: Sharing behavior in the core Read activity

John, This week I finally got everything in sugar-jhbuild to compile. The Browse activity is the only thing that doesn't work. It can't find a Mozilla library file. In any case, I was able to get my Read Etexts activity to share reliably. My activity saves the file to the journal if it

As I said in my previous email, Bitfrost clearly states (correctly, in my mind) that even justified belief that code originates from some known individual implies no trust relationship with that code. Period. Use isolation to make it safer to play with code and use signing to help reduce

Sharing behavior in the core Read activity

2008-03-21 Thread James Simmons
I am trying to give Read Etexts the same sharing behavior that core Read has, using mostly the same code. Until this week I didn't have a good way to test sharing, but I have set up multiple instances of sugar-jhbuild on one of my computers so now I can test sharing. My sugar installation is

Hi James, Another thing I remember reading is that if two kids share an activity and one has an older version of the activity than the other, the older version gets updated so they both have the newer version. This doesn't seem to be happening. I have two test machines, one running
