  That was it.
  Removing the glibc-devel package from /etc/yum/olpc-exclude did
  the trick.
 
  But me just curious, why is /etc/yum/olpc-exclude needed?
 

 The olpc released rpms may be a fork of the fedora code and a newer rpm
 from fedora's updates repo may undo the changes introduced by forked
 package. The kernel and firmware packages install paths won't match
 where the files really live on the XO due to OOB's modifications to
 the /boot directory.

 
  [
  Also, on a side-note, my original issue of compiling avahi on ARM
  still remains unsolved ::
  http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/avahi/2012-July/002167.html
  ]
 

 Think something maybe missing from your build environment, have you met
 all the BuildRequires dependencies from the spec file? There maybe a
 undeclared BuildRequires, have you tried yum groupinstall devel*tools

and/or yum groupinstall devel*libs?



Thanks Champ.

yum groupinstall devel*tools proved to be enough !!



The ARM RPMS have been uploaded (after full testing) at ::

Note that the F17 packages were built on the image, downloaded from
http://download.laptop.org/xo-1.75/os/candidate/12.1.0-18/21018o2.zd, and
installed on XO-1.75.



Again, a big thanks to Jerry !!

Testing Summary, Auckland 14 July 2012
Who: Brenda, Fabiana, John, Nevyn, Tom

We tested 12.1.0 build 18 on XO-1.5 and XO-1.75

Nolan (XO-1.75):
paint - seems ok.
Physics: get the strange behaviour at the top of the canvas where things 
don’t show over a band on the top (reported before)
Record: patchy movie recording on high quality from the onset, whereas 
my feeling is that previously it would record ok for a while before this 
happened.
Turtle art: Something odd - seems like I am building the blocks and the 
programme starts running without me asking for it.
Chart Activity: Opened a very big file from measure - it kept on going 
forever. I cannot find a way to tell it to stop reading the file. I 
tried to stop the activity but it looks like it will not stop until it 
finishes reading. After a bit the menus at the top of the screen were no 
longer visible (as if it was trying to stop) but I can see the data 
field and the chart field, which is still bringing in and 
displaying/plotting the data


Moa:
Managed to successfully open google doc, still can’t create a google doc.

Open as a new tab does not work on a google search

vmeta works in whaawmp, videos can be obtained with youtube-dl -f 18.

fototoon is awesome and works great

Distance still doesn’t work at all on XO-1.75, this activity should be 
removed if it can’t be fixed.


Jacob:
Measure with resistance sensor, we find that the trace drops off the 
bottom of the screen at 6kΩ. It seems that the gain slider is a position 
control, not a gain control as in audio mode, this doesn’t seem to be 
explained in the documentation on wiki.sl.o. The position control can be 
used to position zero on the screen.


Shorting the input yields -10Ω which is a little surprising as negative 
resistors are rare beasties.


Saving data with measure seems strange. We always get some negative 
resistances even when we ensure that we did not measure any negative 
resistance.


Write works with pictures, colors, writing, sizes.

Rosella:
All the text is still tiny as reported previously. Sorry, we haven’t 
taken it apart as recommended a while ago. Is it possible to do an 
fs-update with an external drive as the target or otherwise copy the 
operating system to an external drive?


We had a strange crash on shutdown. The laptop ended up sleeping, and 
when you press the power button the power light comes on for about 3 
seconds and then goes back to sleeping. Keyboard or mouse entry does the 
same thing with the power light.


Could Record display the preview as a mirror image like most webcams? 
This makes it more intuitive when moving your head.

 Auckland Testing Summary 23/06/12
 Who - John, Fabiana, Tabitha, Tom
 
 We tested Build 12.1.0 RC 2 (build 15) on XO-1.5 and XO-1.75.
 
 Rosella: Geeze, need new glasses just to see what is going on! Tiny! I find
 those kissy lips at the bottom of the frame really disturbing. Uploaded a
 paint file fine to gdocs. Can open the image file and text file from google
 docs on browser with no issue. Record - Well that is a very tiny window!
 Created video on record and opened on jukebox, All good. Physics - Would be
 useful to have an ‘erase all’ button. Takes me forever to clear the canvas
 and of course can’t clear those outside of the screen which slow the
 activity significantly. But I don’t seem to get that odd behaviour at the
 top of the canvas reported in previous weeks. Turtle art seems ok. Measure -
 both channels are active - seems all right. Labryinth seems ok saved to pdf
 and png and could open -with read and image viewer -  did not try inserting
 stuff. Can’t shut down through right click
 
 Thanks for testing.
 I posted some tips for how to diagnose the font size issue on this
 laptop in response to a previous report.
 Anyway, I suspect we now know what it is: #12003.
 
 Please post the output of: cat /proc/device-tree/banner-name
 
 
 Physics 'remove all' suggestion  horrible lips: CCing Gary.

Thanks Daniel, yes this is the 2nd request for a delete all feature in Physics. 
It's an easy code addition (ignoring that we would need to redesign the primary 
toolbars to fit in an additional icon), but a dangerous one without an undo 
feature, allowing you to wipe everything with a single toolbar click is asking 
for trouble... Best we could do given that adding undo to Physics is not an 
easy task is to have the feature raise a confirmation alert.

Note that the Erase tool works like an eraser, you can scrub over the canvas 
with a 'line of death' removing many objects all in one quick scribble.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm hoping to get back to Physics feature work in the 
next cycle.

Regards,
--Gary

 Shutdown issue: at which point did it hang, or what was the exact
 response of the system? Build 18 fixes an issue where it could hang on
 shutdown at the warning screen.
 
 Hoiho
 Memorize:
 Start as new. Change game to 6x6. Stop. Start from journal. Expect 6x6 game
 get 4x4 game.
 
 Thanks, filed as http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/3754
 
 ivy:
 Browse, works but open in new window from the right click menu does nothing.
 
 We need to fix this menu. This is http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/3455
 
 Browse’s cutnpaste continues to be strange, with it not effecting the url
 bar. You have to use the right click menu to do that
 
 Can you explain what you mean by this?
 
 totem does not play .mp4, failing with a segfault.
 
 Is this file available somewhere?

Yes we have been investigating this fir some weeks now, unfortunately seems to 
be a regression in the hardware graphics driver that is not going to be fixed 
in this cycle. My best guess is that pygame double buffering is no longer 
supported by the driver and your observing a vsync related frame redraw that 
should be happening in the hidden buffer. The blank band will grow as the scene 
gets more complicated :( Other pygame activities will also be affected (I've 
seen one mention of someone seeing something similar in Maze).

I've looked to see if there's anything I can do to improve Physics at the 
activity level, but haven't found any options yet.

 negative resistors are rare beasties.

The zero voltage point of the input channel won't always be zero in
the digital data.  This is specified in the datasheets for the chips.
Measure would need to learn the offset, with some sort of calibration
button.  This has always been the case, but the offset varies across
laptops.  You might find other laptops have other offsets; displaying
something other than -10.

You're referring to Daniel Drake's suggestions on 18th June.
http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/testing/2012-June/002757.html

 Is it possible to do an fs-update with an external drive as the
 target or otherwise copy the operating system to an external drive?

Yes, but this wouldn't test what Daniel was asking, which is whether
the problem follows the microSD card.

Even so, I'll provide an answer to your question.

To do an fs-update with an external SD card, or microSD card in an
adapter, set the device alias used by fs-update, like so:

ok devalias fsdisk ext:0
ok fs-update u:\file.zd

As a result, the fs-update will write to the external SD card slot
instead of the internal storage.

To copy the operating system to an external SD card you may use Tiny
Core Linux booted from a USB drive.  The microcore build gets you a
root shell prompt without requiring the USB drive to stay in the laptop:

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Tiny_Core_Linux#microcore_3.4_for_XO-1_and_XO-1.5

Boot microcore, insert the external SD card, check from
/proc/partitions and dmesg to identify which card is which, and then
copy with dd:

dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/dev/mmcblk1

(be careful, the device order may be different depending on when the
card was inserted relative to boot time).

Open Firmware does contain fs-save, which is a much slower copy of the
blocks of the SD card to a single large file.  It will also soon
contain fs-load, capable of the reverse.  For example, attach a large
enough USB flash or hard drive, then:

ok devialias fsdisk int:0   \ next command to use internal SD
ok fs-save u:\sd.img\ backup image SD to file on USB
ok devialias fsdisk ext:0   \ next command to use external SD
ok fs-load u:\sd.img\ restore image to external SD

A test version for XO-1.5 is available here:
http://dev.laptop.org/~quozl/q3c08jb.rom

 We had a strange crash on shutdown. The laptop ended up sleeping,
 and when you press the power button the power light comes on for
 about 3 seconds and then goes back to sleeping. Keyboard or mouse
 entry does the same thing with the power light.

Odd.  It does sound like a suspend.

This could be http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/12003 if the banner above the
OFW prompt states something like DA where the second letter is not a
digit.

If this is the case the XO is fine.  It just has a newer motherboard
version than what the current software build expects.
