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.

Re: [Testing] A small deployment of 11.2.0
by Samuel Greenfeld
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.

I'm referring to things like how to pick which activities are used by
OOB, a new arch has nothing to do with that what so ever.

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.

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 :-)

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.

Well dsd is currently away and I can't see the process actually

New F14-arm build os40 - Almost in sync with x86!
by Peter Robinson
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)

- 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

-Distance-23
+Colors-15
+distance-24

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!
