Was not aware of the implications of "the official builds from now on will contain only _base_ Activities" (discussed in Ticket #6598), until I saw a recent post to the Sugar list.
I happen to be a heavy CLI user. It appears the target countries for OLPC deployment have not insisted on CLI - hence Terminal is being omitted from the _base_ software distribution. I'm presuming not all users in the field will have a connection whereby to download 'extra' Activities omitted from the _base_. That leaves the text console as the "approved" OLPC CLI interface. Admittedly Terminal can be used to delete/alter things that should be left alone. But to me personally, it is easier to use than the text console. Do the benefits of initially leaving Terminal out of the _base_ distribution outweigh having to subsequently install it for those who wish to use it ? mikus _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
