Hi,
to get the new Sugar release 0.90 [1] into shape and make it a stable
release we want people to test the nightly Soas snapshots [2]. In order
to get the new packaged tarballs into those builds they have to meet
certain criteria first [3], hence we need people testing them.
You can simply do this by getting the rpms from koji and install them
into your latest soas snapshot and restart Sugar. What I do in short is:
- open the Browse activity and go to http://koji.fedoraproject.org
- search for the package (sugar, sugar-toolkit...)
- click on the latest F14 version and then right-click on the download
option of the 'noarch' rpm and choose 'copy link' from the palette (if
you download directly it is stored in the Journal)
- then open the terminal activity log in as root and you can copy in the
address here using ctrl+shift+v or the edit tab in the toolbar
- the command for updating the rpm is: 'rpm -U [name of rpm]'
Once you tested the package you can comment on bodhi [4] about your
findings and give karma points. If you have not done so yet, you should
create a Fedora account [5], so your comments have a higher value.
Why not start today? Here are some packages that would need your testing
[6] [7]. Btw, there will be a Fedora testing day [8] this Thursday and
we want to give a go on Sugar, too. More info to come.
If you have questions please feel free to ask. I am as well on irc
#sugar most of the day.
Regards,
Simon

Actually, you can use as well the updates testing repository to test new
rpms. Completely forgot about that.
yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update sugar sugar-toolkit...
And Bernie pointed out that fedora-easy-karma [1] can be used for people
who do not like to use web interfaces.
Gary pointed out that he has issues running the latest snapshot under
virtualization (Virtual Box) does not work for him (black screen). If
anybody has an idea...
Just to confirm, I just tested again with the latest
soas-x86_64-20100817.16.iso image and it is still showing a black screen at the
point it should be showing X. It's not a lockup or a failed boot process, looks
just to be that something display related in F14 and VirtualBox are not happy
with each other yet (been happily using F13 VB VMs for some time). You can send
the F14 VM the shutdown signal and it will gracefully shut its self down again.
I also tested with various vga boot parameters incase it was resolution
related, but all end up at black (800x600, 1024x768, 1600x1200).
Just wanted to confirm that I have success in testing the above image
soas-x86_64-20100817.16.iso in Parallels Desktop v5 (build 5.0.9344) for Mac.
Unfortunately Parallels is a commercial product, but it does point to Oracle
VirtualBox (v3.2.8 r64453) having some specific issue display with F14 at the
moment.

I have successfully installed soas-i386-20100817.16.iso in QEMU using
"liveinst"(anaconda)
with hp Turion64x2 laptop and f13 installed on an external USB HD
"yum install @virtualization "
