Good news: mostly complete dist-f14 package list
by Martin Langhoff
from the OMG Ponies! dept -
Following on the topic of
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/olpc/2011-April/002859.html ,
I put the commands into a script, and re-ran it against the latest
dist-14 repo.
The list we are missing is looking good. By good I mean:
set(['kernel', 'sugar-update-control', 'PolicyKit-olpc',
'telepathy-logger', 'dconf', 'perl-threads-shared', 'inkscape',
'olpc-powerd', 'csound', 'olpc-powerd-dbus', 'bootfw-q3b07', 'folks',
'olpc-bootanim', 'olpc-runin-tests', 'portmidi', 'gnome-dvb-daemon',
'ds-backup-client', 'dmidecode', 'libffado', 'prelink', 'atkmm',
'xorg-x11-drv-chrome', 'csound-python', 'perl-threads'])
Cross out the ones that are not in Fedora repos, and we're left with
very very few pkgs. csound and the folks + telepathy-logger pair
worry me a tad.
To state the obvious: this is dist-f14, no updates stream yet. So it
still isn't the same as our F14 builds, specially when you think about
Sugar, which is up to 0.92.3.14159265 or so lately.
But damn good if you ask me.We're getting close.

11.2.0 release candidate 1 (build 870) released
by Daniel Drake
Hi,
We're pleased to announce our first release candidate of our new
11.2.0 software release.
Information and installation instructions can be found here:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/11.2.0
Quick links for those who know which files need to be grabbed and save
to USB disks:
http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/os/candidate/870/
http://download.laptop.org/xo-1.5/os/candidate/870/
This is a signed release candidate that can be installed on all XOs,
even those with security enabled.
We're looking for testing and feedback on all aspects of the system.
Thanks for any help you can offer, and for all the feedback that was
received throughout development.
Our scheduled release date is July 18th.
For those who have been following the development releases, here are
the changes since the last development build (23):
XO-1 has switched back from ubifs to jffs2 for this release. This is
due to the disk utilisation increase caused by ubifs and the switch to
partitions, which was also going to increase further due to the
signing process. Additionally, we have recent and unsolved reports
that ubifs cannot boot on some XOs. We will make ubifs migration a
priority for the next development cycle.
Initramfs tweaks were made to fix activation.
XO-1.5 firmware was upgraded to support the latest XO-1.5 motherboard revisions.
We still have an occasional wifi card hang which can bring down the
whole system (hard to reproduce). A fix was made in the kernel that
might have solved this.
Do not run this image on an XO-1.5 laptop that is using an old XO-1
"ALPS" keyboard (this generally happens when you have upgraded the
motherboard on an old XO-1 laptop). The keyboard won't work correctly.
Will be fixed for next release candidate.
Fixed issues:
#10779 Back/forward buttons do not reliably appear in Browse
#10956 Cursor moves to beginning while trying to edit activity instance name
#10631 Remove keyboard settings dialog
#11002 New gtk deps triggers float errors during eclipse for Moon :(
#10673 Disable Sugar debug logs
#10941 Clock, Abacus, HelloWorld, Fototoon not favorite

OLPC-AU
by Jerry Vonau
Hi All:
This is to announce that we may have a Release Candidate with the latest
OLPC-AU build for the XO-1.5 featuring sparse file support[1], is now
available for testing[2]. This build has q3a65 firmware in the payload,
so you might get an upgrade if your firmware is not up to that level.
The upload is in progress, please be patient.
Thanks for testing,
Jerry

This runs OK for me although I initially had issues updating it due to an
older OFW version which presumably didn't have the complete sparse support
for fs-update. Once I updated to a later OFW it updated fine (even off USB).

Yep, we just realized that laptop had OS11 on an external SD...

You should be able to use u:\os13.zd now, let me know if it doesn't
work.

What's the right arch to set for our arm kernel?
by Martin Langhoff
Hi Peter, lists,
As per subject -- what's the right arch name to set for our arm kernel?
I may set it to arm5tel but it isn't really -- it's armv7l. Yet I
don't know what arch identifiers our current f-12/f-13 ARM builds will
accept. Have yum and rpm got a list of identifiers that they consider
roughly compatible, or maybe we just have to pretend to be arm5tel to
sneak our way through?
cheers,
m
