It is called an "update". Anyone who updates to a current update.1 build loses those activities. As far as I am aware there has been no official announcement exactly how to get back the missing activities. The "preinstalled" designation on the main Activities page has no meaning anymore. Searching for "Update.1" on the Wiki yields nothing: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Update.1 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Update.1_process http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Update_paths http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Olpc-update Without an effort to get back the activities (which was not even mentioned as a to-do item in your message) I indeed do not think it is "reasonable". This entire dropping of activities came out of nowhere. Until a few days ago I thought that we were all together working on a new OS version called update.1. Judging by other comments I am not alone in thinking this. I am following the lists very closely, but until I saw that ticket about removing activities there was not any hint that this is not going to happen. I as an activity developer of one of the formerly "pre-installed" activities still do not know how to proceed. You could at least communicate your intentions, if indeed providing a useable build is not possible soon. - Bert - _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
