How is the power button being prevented? If the problem is that an early termination is indistinguishable from a test success, why not change runin accordingly? I'm happy to do that if needed. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/

Re: [Testing] A small deployment of 11.2.0
by Samuel Greenfeld 24 Aug '11

No, it should not be an issue to add Labyrinth (a mind mapper) back on to an XO-1, or most activities that used to work on it. It was more a space constraint that anything else. --- SJG On Aug 24, 2011 12:34 AM, "Caryl Bigenho" <cbigenho(a)hotmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Folks! > > > You asked anyone who plans to deploy 11.2.0 to let you know so you can keep them informed of fixes for remaining issues. That's me. I will be collecting 10 XO-1s from a stalled Contributors Program project at Montana State University and re-deploying them to a school in rural Montana. I plan to reflash all of them with 11.2.0 this week before delivering them next week. > > > I will be meeting with 2 of the involved teachers next week to get them oriented on the machines. Among other things, I plan to show them how to update the software as new releases come out.

Is this a space issue? Will there be a problem if I add it? When we were visiting schools in Uruguay we saw a lot of good of examples of ways to use Labyrinth. When I asked one seven-year-old what his favorite program was I was very surprised when he answered "Labyrintino!" It's a real winner! > > > Caryl

Again not referring to upstream OS stuff but OOB processes which should make no difference if its a mainline release, a rawhide release or a build using any other arch. > The SOP begins when we can sync with 11.3.0 build procedures, and I > look forward to sorting that out with you and dsd.

SOP should be for things like "how do I specific which Activities are included in a particular release".... that is what I'm referring to. That is a SOP because the process is standard whether its a stable release or a dev one, the x86 platform or ARM. So if you want to be specific show me the x86 SOP for the 11.2 release for specifying the Activities included in the release. From there I would be able to work out how to do the same for 11.3.x dev releases for ARM :-) Peter

SOPs covering the basics are always useful though, being "dynamic" is a cop out excuse IMO and SOPs help for when people get eaten by raptors. Peter

by Peter Robinson 23 Aug '11

The please just exit the building already release! There's been quite a bit of churn since the last release so its likely possible I've missed some bits. I plan to cut another release Friday morning so let me know what I need to ensure is pulled in soon. Download from: http://build.laptop.org/F14-arm/os40/ Changes and notes from Martin's OS36 (including some from my OS1 test): - sugar 0.92.4 - abiword and pyabiword with network support - pybox2d distro package included so Physics should work - gnash / gnash-plugin - totem / empathy and associated plugins - csound - PolicyKit-olpc - Temporarily removed pygame (planned to be back for next release) - Fedora mirrors with gpg disabled - New libertas-sd8686-firmware-9.70.20.p0-1 - module-init-tools 3.16 to deal with 3.0 kernels - olpc-kbdshim-19 / olpc-powerd-34 In kernel land: There was another kernel released late last week but i don't have its changelog to hand. Will will reply with that when I get it. kernel-3.0.0_xo1.75-20110822.1237.olpc.abfb0c5.armv7l: Chris Ball (1): Add raydium_ts touchscreen driver, platform code and config. Mika Westerberg (3): mmc: core: rename mmc_host_clk_{ungate|gate} to mmc_host_clk_{hold|release mmc: core: prevent aggressive clock gating racing with ios updates mmc: core: use non-reentrant workqueue for clock gating Paul Fox (2): fix typo in drivers/misc/Kconfig fix incomplete list of 1.75 boards which don't have DCON ram Activity version changes: The Activities should now be synced with the 11.2.0 release based on olpc-os-builder which I presume is why some releases are olders (although confirmation of this would be grand) +Analyze-8 -Browse-123 +Browse-122.2 -Distance-23 +Distance-22 -Finance-5 -GetBooks-5 -ImageViewer-17 -Help-11 +Help-12 -InfoSlicer-9 -Jukebox-22 -Labyrinth-11 -Maze-11 +Maze-9 -Physics-8 -Paint-36 +Paint-34.1 -Record-80 +Record-92.1 +Ruler-8 -stopwatch-11 -Speak-30 +Speak-25 +Terminal-31 -Terminal-33 -TurtleArt-113 +TurtleArt-107 -TypingTurtle-27 -Words-4 +WikipediaEN-26

The Peter's first release with Fedora Secondary Mirrors goodness plus much more release! Download from: http://build.laptop.org/~pbrobinson/f14-arm/os1/ Changes and notes from Martin's OS36: - All of sugar 0.92.4 release - abiword and pyabiword with network support - pybox2d distro package included so Physics should work - gnash / gnash-plugin - PolicyKit-olpc - Temporarily removed pygame and totem due to dep issues - Back to latest builds of dracut* linux-firmware olpc-update - A few minor package NVR regressions that will be fixed in the next build In kernel land: - Nothing Activity version changes: -Distance-23 +Colors-15 +distance-24 -Log-24 +Log-25 -Measure-32 +Measure-33 -Scratch-19 Using Yum: The default Fedora yum config should work for fedora and fedora-updates. MirrorManager redirects to appropriate mirror based on arch so there should now be no changes necessary. Enjoy! Peter
