Wow, this is quite impressive! You must be one of the first that have this in a real distribution for ARM :) > = There is a new schedulear/timer patch from Lennert -- mystery > minutes-long hangs should be gone for real now. Do you have any references like a git-commit or discussion on a mailinglist for this? I'd like to match this with some other ARM hardware (non/OLPC) issues I have seen. I joined the OLPC mailinglists only a while ago, and I must say that I am really impressed with the work all of you are doing! It really seems that you make progress quickly. Congratulations with yet an other release update :) Cheers, Niels > - Some packages have been downgraded - need to work with Peter on these > -dracut-006-3.fc14.noarch > -dracut-modules-olpc-0.5.3-1.fc14.1.armv5tel > +dracut-006-2.fc14.noarch > +dracut-modules-olpc-0.5.3-1.fc14.armv5tel > -linux-firmware-20100806-4.fc14.noarch > +linux-firmware-20100106-4.fc14.noarch > -olpc-update-2.23-1.fc14.noarch > +olpc-update-2.22-1.fc14.noarch > > > Activity version changes: > > -Colors-15 > -Finance-3 > +Finance-5 > -Jukebox-21 > +Jukebox-22 > -Paint-35 > +Paint-36 > -StopWatch-10 > +stopwatch-11 > -TurtleArt-112 > +TurtleArt-113 > > Using Yum: > > The default yum config - which we include - points to the official > Fedora mirrors, and those don't really support unsupported > architectures like ARM.

Mostly. The Write and Read issues are known. Write will be fixed in the next OS build, webkit is a known issue. Jukebox might be fixed in the next one too as there's some newer gstreamer packages. We're in the middle of some mass churn since the weekend, its starting to settle out now. Once its settled I plan to do another OS build. That will likely be in the Thurs time frame.

This is now fixed and built. I think the actual NVRs are less so its likely it won't be pulled in. I'll fix that soon so I would wait. > - In kernel land... > > = We have device-tree!

Also I'm in the process of importing 4500 packages that are noarch so they don't need to be rebuilt. So there's going to be a lot of churn very soon but it should get us a lot closer. I'll look at doing the same for updates soon too, just need to check what the deps and other possible issues would be in doing that. I've also untagged all packages that have a newer NVR. I'll let you know when it all settles as at that point its likely worth while cutting another release and comparing the change in packages. Peter

Hopefully we'll past this one soon. Peter
