Just a quick summary of a discussion and a decision that we reached on
IRC, which will hold at least for now with our XO-1.5 software builds.
Further input is welcome, although this is at risk of starting another
huge discussion...
Question: In the early XO-1.5 OS builds right now, we have a
- rpm-based packages cannot be updated with Sugar's updater utility,
which is the primary way for updating activities right now. There is no
upgrade path for activities installed by rpms (without updating the
whole OS, which is another open question)
You can update only one activity with:

Can you expand on this idea? My main complaint with what I've seen from
previous non-OLPC mechanisms is that root/super-user privileges are
required. We can wrap any old CLI in a shiny, pretty, GUI. But it needs to
work in a sane, safe way without passwords for small human beings.
If I'm not
The main point, where olpc-update wins without a shadow of a doubt, is
failure-friendliness. Assuming a fail-safe filesystem, olpc-update can
be interrupted (hard) at any point, might take N runs to complete. And
will only switch to the 'new' image once it's completed in an atomic
operation.
Bastian,
we have not started localozation.. will soon!
I have the instructions for sensors. I will be sending things soon!!

now moved to fedora-devel.

RPM is unfortunately a disaster in this space. If an rpm transaction
fails, there are no sane ways to recover it. On XO-1 a full OS update
transaction with rpm will take a very long time, so it's highly
likely that it will be interrupted. RPM and yum hackers treat this as
an intractable
