Dear XS folks, Daniel Drake, currently in Paraguay, wants to try implementing the procedure described in
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Mstone/Commentaries/Mass_olpc-update via XSen (using DNS to redirect the XOs' theft-deterrence protocol requests to the local XS.) However, after briefly scanning the wiki, I noticed that we have http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Blueprints:Lease_and_update_server http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS-activation http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS-rsync but no sign of an XS-ified theft deterrence protocol server. Now, to the best of my (limited) knowledge, there is one usefully complete implementation of the protocol, http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=users/cscott/act-server;a=summary which was deployed in production at antitheft.laptop.org and activation.laptop.org and used to update several thousand G1G1'07 machines. (The installation of the code on those machines is, as usual, thoroughly documented internally at Machine:antitheft and Machine:activation pages, for those with access; some small bits of censorship /are/ needed before publication.) In conclusion, do you currently know any problems that would prevent merging whatever packages he and I create for his XSen (probably based on Scott's code) into the main XS tree, assuming that we provide suitable documentation alongside them? Anyone got any better ideas about how to accomplish our goal?
