customization stick broken in 12.1.10 (21018o0.img)
The approach I have taken with other releases is to flash the NAND, add some activities with a customization stick [1], and then use the NAND-blaster to copy the image to all our laptops. When I try the customization stick, there is some python exception, but the screen powers off almost immediately and I can't read it. [1] http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Customization_key -- Joshua N.

The .pb file for bootanim customisation won't work any more as we have changed boot animation: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/12.1.0#Miscellaneous_improvements Even if you avoid this file it looks like it will still fail, since the customisation stick chooses user ID 500 for the olpc user, but this is now 1000. The customisation stick has been somewhat problematic for a while now, and starting in 2010 we started to move to the direction where image customisation should be done by making your own image (which is much easier than before). Is this an option for you? http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OS_Builder Thanks, Daniel ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

[Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] Proposal: Contol-Panel packaging
Hi All: I would like to propose a feature for discussion and inclusion in the 0.98 cycle is packaging all control-panel applets as rpms. As this discussion does not impact the UI and more of a packaging issue I'm an not creating a Features page. The discussion can take place here on the mailing-list. The reasoning is that it should make it easier for downstream users of sugar to exclude applets that don't apply to their use case without having to patch them out. For example OLPC removes via their .spec file, the keyboard and updater applets from their builds and uses their own version of an updater supplied as an rpm. Dextrose is using this idea to now to partly split up the what is available to install at rpm generation time[1]. I have found this useful from a deployment perspective by being able to exclude applets that are unwanted or need further development from the final image. The current code base and workflow would not be changed, except a revised sugar.spec file would generate more that just the sugar rpm when run, like how it is done now for sugar-emulator. Deployment level users of sugar would then need to state which applets to include in their image at image creation time. This will allow development of applets to evolve without having to reinstall all of sugar in the field for a change to an applet. Any XO specific user tool like About my Computer and Power should not really be part of sugar but should be available to install on demand like OLPC's sugar-update-control and olpc-switch-desktop that are added to OLPC's sugar installation. SoaS might benefit from not shipping all the applets, omitting the ones that apply to XO hardware. This change might help development of new features in the control-panel area that later be incorporated into sugar once proven to work. Feedback and comments welcome, Jerry 1.http://git.sugarlabs.org/dextrose/mainline/blobs/bleeding-edge/rpms/sugar/sugar.spec ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

No transportation needed just link /packages in an offline repo pointing to /packages in OOB's yum cache directory for that repo. I struggled a tad with how ImgCreate drives yum libs vs how yum itself does it, but only a couple of hours, now it is solved, and working, and I already had a positive email from upstream. Looks like it'll come as a F17 update :-) That is kind of interesting as I'm on liv...@lists.fedoraproject.org. I have not had any email from that list since July 9 nor have the archives[1].

sugar-gnomekeyring.patch
Hi All: Just looking at the current 0.96-3 src.rpm for sugar and wondering if sugar-gnomekeyring.patch should be somewhere else other than in the sugar package. This is a one time configuration that the olpc-utils[1] package currently handles. Perhaps olpc-utils would be a better place for this piece of code.
