I personally feel that this kind of approach is not a great idea, but I suppose it depends who your target users are. This type of setup seems inappropriate for low-bandwidth/high-latency OLPC-style deployments, since it seems to rely on the internet. Unless you're suggesting that people run the updates website on the school server, in which case xs-activity-server would need to be reworked into that, or an alternative solution developed which does not require deployers doing too much setup. The current updater has some nice properties in that the microformat is simple, the surrounding infrastructure is in place for deployments (use xs-activity-server, or maintain a .html file), and that at least with this patch it will operate very well even without internet access: http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/9259 Daniel _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
