Re: mkliveinitrd bug
Here are the problems I found so far: * console completely screwed up, which makes debugging a pain. * jffs2 related kernel trace while booting, does not seem to break things. * Network related kernel panic at the end. Sometimes halt the system, sometimes it doesn't. * X does not start for some reason. All in all we seem in a pretty bad shape :P Maybe setting up nightly builds will encourage someone with more kernel experience then me to take a look.

Re: Devel Digest, Vol 36, Issue 12
Okay, I'll get my scripts posted to that ticket. Best, Wade 2009/2/6 Tiago Marques tiago...@gmail.com Hi all, I already mentioned an Acer One boots very fast from flash, like 5-10s to X server with window manager loaded. I remembered that I can do a TAR.BZ2 of the whole root of the SSD and put it online somewhere, if anyone cares to have a look to see what they have done at Linpus to speed up the boot of this particular Fedora flavour. We could supposedly download it from here: http://www.linpus.com/products_1.php# But, at least for me, it's not quite working. I volunteer for that effort but would like to have some help from Wade, since I've mostly used Gentoo since I became a penguin, and I don't known much else. Gentoo uses a different init system from most distros, so I never did do much init system hacking out of Gentoo. When I did do it(OpenSUSE and Ubuntu, mostly writing init scripts and toying with the boot process), it was something I didn't want to do again, I love Gentoo's baselayout too much - it's simple to work with and supports parallel init script startup for at least three years. Take a look at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg_HBgwRZS4 to get an idea of how fast it is. It boots the X and window manager and then starts loading network and ACPI stuff in parallel, it still takes a while for everything to be up but it's generally quite fast, especially if you just want to access local stuff.

It's easy to remove /versions from the namespace of the kernel/shell/etc. It just makes it more difficult to perform the upgrade, since the upgrader needs to manipulate /versions. You could either (a) mount /versions read-only (easy, but just requires a malicious user to 'mount -o rw,remount /versions ; /bin/rm -rf /), or (b) mediate upgrades via the trusted 'oats' daemon (pid 1), which alone has access to the /versions tree. This was Ivan's original design, but Michael and I never really worked out how rainbow trusted communication was supposed to work. IIRC the update protocol does has a separately signed credential which Sugar can pass to oats to assert that the requested update action is valid/trusted. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

maintaining activity web information
(Please forward to whatever the sugar activity mailing list is.) There's a lot of activity information on wiki pages to maintain, I couldn't find any documentation on how to maintain it all. So I wrote http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Maintaining_activity_web_information based on how activities like Etoys are set up. I added a section about the fields to update when you migrate your activity to SugarLabs. I think it's accurate, edit away if not. It's clearly *way too much work* because of overlapping redundant info. Perhaps this is why many activity web pages and Activities/Another_list have out-of-date info. Maintenance should be much simpler. I have specific ideas how to get there, but I'm not even clear where the info should live.
