RE: OLPC France 12.1.0 testing results
Hi Gonzalo, Thanks for your answer. For hulahop, the best is replace the use of gecko by webkit. You can see how simple is the code, by example in the Help activity. Ok, were going to have a look on this. About Colors, I have tried but didn't find the solution to the pending issue (git version starts, but the palette to select colors do not reply) If you find the solution, please communicate. Hmmm. I dont understand the issue: the activity just crash with a TypeError message in the log. To be honest, Im not sure that well invest lot of time on it because I dont know if this activity is used a lot locally. BTW, yes if we find a way to fix it. Well communicate on it.

I imagine for a project like yours, you will appreciate the simplicity added overall (i.e. removing the step where you have to use the customization stick), even though you will face a small learning curve first.

RE: OLPC France 12.1.0 testing results
Hi Daniel, Thanks for your answer. According to testing within OLPC, 12.1.0 should not introduce significant performance issues here. 13.1.0 is where the significant slowdowns are introduced. We will try to work on this. I've done some quick tests today on a XO-1 with 12.1.0 and you're right, I don't see any significant performance difference. BTW I've found a very strange issue on 12.1.0: I've downloaded the Tuxmath activity and installed the .xo file from the Sugar App Store (http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en/sugar/addon/4271). As you probably know, Tuxmath don't works on Sugar 0.96+ because the activity.info has the wrong format (bundle_id and exec property). When I update the activity.info from the Tuxmath.activity/activity directory of the installed activity, Tuxmath works. But if I update the activity.info into the bundle BEFORE installing the .xo file, Tuxmath failed to start: Traceback (most recent call last): File /usr/bin/sugar-activity, line 154, in module main() File /usr/bin/sugar-activity, line 110, in main class_name = splitted_module[1] IndexError: list index out of range Exited with status 1, pid 771 data (None, open file 'fdopen', mode 'w' at 0x9e037b0, '5ee72dfc5e569afc13a4ca91e0b5e2628747b919') I've retried the packaging of the activity several times on several machines without understanding how the comportment could differ. Is there any reason for that? I'm sorry that the image has grown a bit. It is a battle that we haven't had enough resources to fight well enough. The growing of the image come with very nice features (Gtk3, WebKit, ...) so we can live with that! You probably already know, what we recommend here is http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OS_Builder Yes it's my next task to try OS Builder. In the meantime, Tony send me its magic script to delete/install activity bundle. So, I've got a B plan if my learning curve is too long :-) Best regards from France.

OLPC France 12.1.0 testing results
Hi all, We're currently preparing the 2013 mission to our Nosy Komba deployment: 150 XO-1 + 50 XO-1.5. So, a team of volunteer have tested on 12.1.0/Sugar 0.96 our 63 activities currently deployed there on OLPC 883/Sugar 0.94.1. I know it's a hot topic here :-) so following is the result of our test. The detailed report is here [1] (in french) and the spreadsheet report is here [2]. Results are not so bad: 71% of activities works without any adaptation, 20% with a minor one (activity.info upgrade, find here [3] a patch with all activity.info we've upgraded). Only 4 activities don't work at all. The next step for us: * Fix the last issue regarding hulahop incompatibility on 3 activities (Map, Madagascar, HelpFR), * Fix the TypeError issue on Colors activity, * Do intensive testing on XO-1 to check the performance issue mentioned here recently (most of our testing has been done on SoaS or XO-1.5), * Try to optimize the size of our bundle to adapt to the new size of free space on 12.1.0, * Find a new way to create our bundle. Until this year we've got a customization key but unfortunately it's not supported now: we can't deployed 63 activities, one by one on 200 XO! I will give you news of our work but Im happy to hear your advices. Best regards from France. Lionel. P.S.: Most of this boring testing works has been done by new OLPC France volunteers (especially Aurélie, Alexandre and Jean). Thanks a lot to them for that.
