Hi,
Just for perspective. The approach which I have taken is to install the
activities from ASLO in the library. Any XO connected to the library can
select an activity to be downloaded and installed. If storage becomes a
problem, an unused activity can be deleted locally.

Jerry,
I had to manually add "http://schoolserver/activities"; to the "Group"
under "Software Update" in the Control Panel. Then, when I run the
update, it pings the XS and grabs new activities. Is this expected
behavior?
Yes. For a deployment you would use olpc-os-builder to preset that address.
And yes, there is a missing link in that this currently must be
user-invoked; theres no fully automated way of pushing activities yet.
I hope to be a part of solving that in a future release cycle.

OK. It seems the xs-rsync would be a way to do this, but from the docs
it looks like its set up only to push the OS image.
cheers,

Gonzalo recently drafted some notes on that, as we'd like to make it
happen. The 13.1.0 cycle is insanely busy ATM so unclear/unlikely...
