Re: Video Playback
Hi Carlos, I can run the mplayer from the shell and it works like a charm. But in order to get it working with kids, the shell isnt exactly a solution. I want to try some codecs for totem, coz ive seen some sites with totem compatibility but i just need to expand the codecs. I don't have experience with codecs, we just tuned and sugarized mplayer some time ago, i don't know how to expand codecs. :/ regards.- -- Eduardo Silva http://edsiper.linuxchile.cl ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Re: Video Playback
1) Any idea on the Mplayer activity development? I cant get it to work as an activity, although i can make it happen through the console, which isnt the best idea, since it's meant for the kids to watch some videos on it. Some time ago we did some work on that (we = Reynaldo Verdejo and I ) building an activity, the first version can be watched here: http://edsiper.linuxchile.cl/blog/?p=16 the trick is to reparent the mplayer window in a gtk drawingarea or similar, for that you need to call mplayer with: mplayer -wid PARENT_WINDOW_XID I don't have the code here at this moment but is not difficult to do it... cheers. -- Eduardo Silva http://edsiper.linuxchile.cl ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Re: Beyond Hello World
I have some reservations about the Hacking Sugar page. First, the name could be improved. To me, Hacking implies making something do I chose that name meaning how to hack the sugar environment not just related to create activities, also include how sugar works internally and how a developer can add new components to the UI... it was an idea that was needing more time to be done. Second, you are mixing links to content with actual content. In my experience with Wikis there is a finite size you can make a page, and you want pages that are a good size to print out. If I was doing your page it would be all links with short abstracts, like most of it is already. I'd move the Activity bundle example to its own page. My page could be chapter 2, as Edward Cherlin suggested. My EtextReader Activity, when it is hosted, could be the sample for that chapter. You're right, that can be improved ... As I said in the latest email I don't have time right now to continue contributing with Hacking Sugar, I was just making suggestions... cheers.

Re: Beyond Hello World
Hi Samuel :D
How about making hacking sugar a chapter or two in the developers
manual?
that make sense..
Eduardo: you can 'transclude' pages on the wiki if you want
to share content across pages (something like {{:Developers Manual}}
inside a page will include all of the text from [[Developers Manual]]
at that point in the text.)
that would be a good solution, there's some info that can be merged...
cheers.

Has anyone looked at Psyco on the XO? The point is, no generic mono JIT is going to be as smart about guessing the 95% case for Python, as something written specifically for Python. The CIL dynamic re-compiler has a well-developed optimizer and a bunch of other stuff, including an awesome garbage collector. The newer version use a compacting garbage collector IIRC; though Python might use reference counting internally (it might be better that way, but consider the interpreter itself would be in CIL and use reflection ...). It's basically Python - CIL - CIL optimizer, not Python - CIL - C# optimizer. Granted, yes, an optimizer aware of specific language ABI specifics (like classes for C++, functions and structures for C, ect) can pre-optimize and then let the lower level optimizer re-optimize the code better (I think that's how GCC does it, optimizes a Gimple tree based on language and then does a general optimization based on hardware); but a CIL reflection compiler could compile Python into an internal tree, optimize it, emit optimized CIL, and let Mono generate optimized x86 code (as in, optimize the generated x86 code). Disclaimer: I have no experience to back this up. I have fuzzy understanding of compiler internals, nothing formal and nothing really great. Ask a gcc guy and a Mono guy.

Re: ip4-address buddy property - still needed?
At this point in time, having as much debug info available in the developer console without having to remember which command-line tool provides what, is crucial for collecting problem reports from non-expert users and I would request that the IPv4 information remains where it is. In analyze-acivity, I wrote a python file called netdevice.py which return the network devices, IP, Netmask and MAC Address... Apparently the developer console is going away. Or at least it's not part of the latest joyride builds. So you can't collect your info anymore this way. Yeah, we're killing the developer console... cheers.

Re: log-collect / log-send
Hi Guys, I have been working on something similar. It is a console script that gather networks related logs, and will be available in the next joyride. Would be better focus to develop just a main class to collect this information and different front-ends as a console script and the UI interface under the log activity. In this way we can avoid to duplicate code. Giannis, where is your source code?, can be cool if you and Pascal can merge a final python class. I was planning to add the above features in my script, but a sugar activity is better than a console script. Since we are working on the same thing we can use each other's help, and create a single application. both can be useful, but using just ONE collector ;) cheers.

6. Committer list
Please list the maintainer (lead developer) as the first entry. Only list
developers who need to be given accounts so that they can commit to your
project's code repository, or push their own. There is no need to list
non-committer developers.
Username Full name SSH2 key URLE-mail
- --
#1 edsiper Eduardo Silva Pereira already on d.l.o
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
...
If any developers don't have their SSH2 keys on the web, please attach them
to the application e-mail.
7. Preferred development model
[X] Central tree. Every developer can push his changes directly to the
project's git tree. This is the standard model that will be familiar to
CVS and Subversion users, and that tends to work well for most projects.
[ ] Maintainer-owned tree. Every developer creates his own git tree, or
multiple git trees. He periodically asks the maintainer to look at one
or more of these trees, and merge changes into the maintainer-owned,
main tree. This is the model used by the Linux kernel, and is
well-suited to projects wishing to maintain a tighter control on code
entering the main tree.
If you choose the maintainer-owned tree model, but wish to set up some
shared trees where all of your project's committers can commit directly,
as might be the case with a discussion tree, or a tree for an individual
feature, you may send us such a request by e-mail, and we will set up the
tree for you.
8. Set up a project mailing list:
[ ] Yes, named after our project name
[ ] Yes, named __
[X] No
When your project is just getting off the ground, we suggest you eschew
a separate mailing list and instead keep discussion about your project
on the main OLPC development list. This will give you more input and
potentially attract more developers to your project; when the volume of
messages related to your project reaches some critical mass, we can
trivially create a separate mailing list for you.
If you need multiple lists, let us know. We discourage having many
mailing lists for smaller projects, as this tends to
stunt the growth of your project community. You can always add more lists
later.
9. Commit notifications
[ ] Notification of commits to the main tree should be e-mailed to the list
we chose to create above
[ ] A separate mailing list, projectname-git, should be created for commit
notifications
[X] No commit notifications, please
10. Shell accounts
As a general rule, we don't provide shell accounts to developers unless
there's a demonstrated need. If you have one, please explain here, and
list the usernames of the committers above needing shell access.
11. Notes/comments:
thanks.
Eduardo Silva.
