Looks good to me (but I know nothing of what's changed in master...)
- i use the backup_url to see if we are associated with a schoolserver
- why did you use the jabber server for this 'xs_fqdn = prof.jabber_server'?
Good question. Neither is the right one. In a XS driven net, both are
equal. In a XS-on-the-internet situation, the public XS may decide
to not offer backup service. Of the 3 (moodle/webapps, xmpp, backup),
backup is the most burdensome on the server.
So I think there is a (very marginal) advantage to using the jabber
server. But the most important hting is that 0.82.x and master use the
same, so whatever you do, both should use the same...
Our registration URL is REGISTER_URL = 'http://schoolserver:8080/',
wouldn't the right Domain than be 'schoolserver'? Since the cookie is
about the registration with the schoolserver this makes most sense to me
(the jabber server could be somewhere else).
(The right fix is to have a 'schoolserver fqdn' entry in the
profile... but that's for the next Sugar dev cycle I guess...)
- c.execute('''CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
+ moz_cookies
+ (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
+ name TEXT,
+ value TEXT,
+ host TEXT,
+ path TEXT,
+ expiry INTEGER,
+ lastAccessed INTEGER,
+ isSecure INTEGER,
+ isHttpOnly INTEGER);''')
- is the ';' correct here or a typo?
typo
ok;
- i only except for sqlite3.Error
Is that the only thing that could go wrong? My thinking has been: if
we fail, let the startup succeed. This is a good feature, but not a
showstopper.
- what bothers me a bit is that you don't get an error when the database
does not exist - sqlite creates a new one actually - so we might return as
well on 'if not os.path.exists(os.path.join(_profile_path,
'cookies.sqlite'))'
Well, all the calls in the try block are sqlite3 ones - if they fail -
we catch it. If something else goes wrong - we want to fail and not hide ;p
The DB does not exist on the first use of Browse. Actually, it does
not get created until the first website sets the first cookie, AFAICS.
That means that on the first use of Browse the user goes to the XS and
doesn't get autenticated. So if the DB doesn't exist, _we want to
create it_. It's not a failure, it's success.
Ok, sounds good.
- the method could even be a function as it does not interact at all with
the class itself, not sure what is nicer
I'd prefer a function, but it's not my codebase, so follow the style... :-)
Done.
BTW: Is there a spec you used for the cookie format? I find field
descriptions like expires - you name it expiry.
Thanks,
Simon

Re: [Sugar-devel] etextRead activity and espeak
Tony, Read Etexts does *not* have speech disabled. If you install speech-dispatcher and configure it to use espeak (NOT espeak-generic) then it will work. What happens in my code is I try to import speech-dispatcher python and if I don't find it then I hide the Speech tab on the toolbar. Hemant Goyal was working on creating RPMs for speech-dispatcher for Fedora a few months ago, and it may be possible to do a yum install to get it. It will drag in a bunch of other stuff you don't need, though, based on my experiences with the RPMs he gave me to try out. The reason the Activity needs speech-dispatcher rather than just espeak alone is that the Python code needs to be called back on word breaks. That's the only way to do karaoke highlighting, and espeak by itself won't do it. I would also warn you that the highlighting is not perfect. Sometimes it skips a word. The way I wrote the code keeps it from falling behind and highlighting the wrong word, but it will skip one every so often, at least a couple per page. The folks on the speech-dispatcher mailing list seemed to think that festival might work better than espeak as far as these callbacks were concerned. The other thing to warn you about is that multithreaded Python apps prevent the power management code from kicking in, or at least this happened with the version of Python that the XO was using when I wrote the Activity. This may be resolved now; I can't say. There was some talk here that a newer version of Python would resolve the issue. I stopped working on these Activities in late September of last year when my basement experienced some flooding. It was January before the mold remediation was done and I was able to go back down there to program. Also, I wiped out both Linux installs I was using with espeak and replaced them with Fedora 10, so I don't currently have speech-dispatcher installed and configured, and it will take me awhile to remember what I did. I was really counting on Hemant to get SD ready for the XO, but he isn't responding to my emails these days. So, in summary, this may turn out to be more of a do-it-yourself project than you had hoped for. I would dearly love to have Read Etexts used by kids in Nepal, so be assured that I will do everything I can to help. If you want to experiment with what I created the best way would be to get an old computer that runs sugar-jhbuild or use Fedora 10 with the Sugar packages and install speech-dispatcher. Get that working before you try using an actual XO. I've been thinking about Read Etexts ever since Kindle 2 was announced and I heard it has text to speech built in. I have always thought that really good support for ebooks would make the XO a Kindle-killer. It would cost less, be readable in sunlight, give you access to thousands of free books, and when you get one a kid in a foreign land gets one too. What's not to like? Sorry I can't be more encouraging, James Simmons Tony Anderson wrote: Hi, The educational team at OLENepal would like a 'karaoke-style' text reader above all other activities on the XO. This is primarily for English. Looking at the activity code, it looks like the speech code is there but disabled. Would it be possible to release a version that supports espeak without the Speech-Dispatcher pending its implementation in Sugar? This would give us a chance to experiment with creating 'read-aloud' stories. Tony Thanks for your response. I never questioned that there was still interest in TTS on the XO. What I was wondering is if there was any progress made by Hemant Goyal or anyone else in getting the Speech-Dispatcher software included with the Sugar distribution, if the newer version of Python that resolved the power management issue was included, etc. I've sent a couple of emails to Hemant and haven't heard back from him. I was wondering if he was still working on these things, or if someone else had taken over his work, etc. He was making RPMs for Fedora for installing speech-dispatcher.

Re: [Sugar-devel] [PATCH] webactivity: seed the XS cookie at startup
note that if the XS is acting as a proxy the cache issue can be addressed.
