Hi, to get the new Sugar release 0.90 [1] into shape and make it a stable release we want people to test the nightly Soas snapshots [2]. In order to get the new packaged tarballs into those builds they have to meet certain criteria first [3], hence we need people testing them.
You can simply do this by getting the rpms from koji and install them into your latest soas snapshot and restart Sugar. What I do in short is: - open the Browse activity and go to http://koji.fedoraproject.org - search for the package (sugar, sugar-toolkit...) - click on the latest F14 version and then right-click on the download option of the 'noarch' rpm and choose 'copy link' from the palette (if you download directly it is stored in the Journal) - then open the terminal activity log in as root and you can copy in the address here using ctrl+shift+v or the edit tab in the toolbar - the command for updating the rpm is: 'rpm -U [name of rpm]' Once you tested the package you can comment on bodhi [4] about your findings and give karma points. If you have not done so yet, you should create a Fedora account [5], so your comments have a higher value. Why not start today? Here are some packages that would need your testing [6] [7]. Btw, there will be a Fedora testing day [8] this Thursday and we want to give a go on Sugar, too. More info to come. If you have questions please feel free to ask. I am as well on irc #sugar most of the day.
