Hi Peter, I would remove the old fc9 build from the olpc_development repo (or even have one for 8.2.0 and one for 9.1.0 so they don't get mixed up). Surely it should be pulling cyrus-sasl from the Fedora repos anyway? I've just pushed a patch to pilgrim's joyride branch to

Needed to get a developer key for a XO. Clicked on the provided field in Browse - it timed out. Ended up extracting the request from /home, carrying it to a desktop machine, issuing the request in a browser there, creating an exception for the invalid certificate at activation.laptop.org --

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I'm not a python programmer so searching through the source entails quite a learning curve... Perhaps someone with real knowledge of the internals can suggest an approach or more specifics about where to look. --Chris Tony Anderson wrote: Hi, I didn't
