Hi, We're pleased to announce a further 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/874/ http://download.laptop.org/xo-1.5/os/candidate/874/ 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 has been received already. The release is imminent! Any last minute feedback much appreciated, even if you can just confirm that it seems to work as well as other recent builds :) Since build 873 we have fixed: Since release candidate 3 (build 872) we have fixed an issue where the Record stop button was pushed off the edge of the toolbar in Spanish, the friends tray for collaborators now correctly shows the members of the shared activity, and we fixed a system-level issue that was causing loss of reliability in collaboration. Closed tickets: #10817 friendstray does represent buddies of a shared activity we have not joined yet #11060 hostname set too late; upsets avahi #11076 Record toolbar does not fit in a XO screen for Spanish Thanks, Daniel

[livecd PATCH] Add initial support for ARM architectures
by Martin Langhoff 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

This allows us to get basic ARM builds going. It doesn't take care of booting facilities, but those vary widely in the ARM world. For the time being, setup for booting should be done in %post . It might be possible to implement generally useful/configurable U-boot support. OLPC doesn't use U-boot unfortunately. Someone with U-Boot machines should help me here :-) We use OFW and all OFW needs is that we drop a file in /boot . The great firewall of china isn't letting me post this properly with git-send-email :-/ m -- martin.langhoff(a)gmail.com martin(a)laptop.org -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff

Re: OLPC-AU release candidate RC3 (au867)
by Sridhar Dhanapalan 08 Jul '11

The Melbourne XO Club meets on 16 July, as part of the LUV Beginners' Workshop: http://lists.luv.asn.au/wws/arc/luv-announce/2011-07/msg00001.html http://luv.asn.au/2011/07/16 We need to have a release out by 25 July, which is the start of Term 3 in Northern Territory schools. This release won't be directly available for XO-1s (we're phasing those out). You can install our last (and latest stable) release (10.1.3-au2) and run the upgrade routine. Your feedback on this would be very valuable, as this is our intended method of getting our XO-1s onto 10.1.3-au3. Installing 10.1.3-au2[0] can be done by directly writing the image to the XO, or through our XO-AU USB 2[1]. Once your XO is flashed and working, you can run the upgrade routine as already outlined. To repeat: 1. extract the ZIP file[3] to a USB drive 2. plug into the XO 3. turn on Once the upgrade stick verifies that you have a 10.1.3-au release installed, it will upgrade the OS to 10.1.3-au3.

Good news: mostly complete dist-f14 package list
by Martin Langhoff 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

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. m -- martin.langhoff(a)gmail.com martin(a)laptop.org -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff
