OK, thanks. The existing updater works fine in Debian; I don't know if it was ever pushed into koji, but it is certainly compatible with Fedora. If anyone wants to develop a new updater, I can probably offer some advice. Using an explicit update_url field in the activity is recommended for activities packaged with the current updater; the OLPC wiki default was only ever intended to be a bridge for legacy apps, not a recommended practice. I prefer email for initial discussions of updater ideas: 9am isn't a great meeting time for me. http://cananian.livejournal.com/48460.html also has some thoughts on updaters. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
