Re: Update.1 activities download script
I've implemented the upgrade script now -- on the next xo-get update
it will ask to update to version 1.2.5 and then it's capable of xo-get
upgrade.
When called, it will re-download the upgrade script from
http://dev.laptop.org/~bert/update-activities.py all 48 hours, save it
in ~/.xo_get/update-activities.py, and run it without parameters.
Best,
- Chris

Don't really know why that file is there, but from this comment from
the code that creates it, it's not something you can rely in the long
term:
http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=sugar;a=blob;f=src/main.py;h=e78570769e8138c827e04c1a6af820c6ce712955;hb=HEAD#l53
Perhaps in the xo you could rely on this hardcoded value?
os.environ['DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS'] = 'unix:path=/tmp/olpc-session-bus'

Update.1 activities download script
Hi Scott, and all,
I made a script that downloads and installs or upgrades the official
activities for Update.1 from the repository at:
http://mock.laptop.org/repos/local.update1/XOS/Dictionary-1.xo
The script is available at
http://dev.laptop.org/~bert/update-activities.py
and it makes testing these activities on build 700 rather simple.
Usage: update-activities.py [options] [ACTIVITIES]
If no ACTIVITIES are listed, operate on all activities
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-u, --upgrade upgrade installed activities [default]
-i, --install install non-installed activities
-d, --download only download, do not actually install or upgrade
-l, --list only list, do not actually install or upgrade
To save download time, do something like this first:
cp -a /usr/share/activities/*.activity /home/olpc/Activities
I also noticed problems with some of the .xo bundles, see
http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6696
http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6697
And finally, there is a trick in the script so it connects to the
current Sugar session even if run from the console or via ssh - may be
useful to somebody:
if not 'SUGAR_PREFIX' in os.environ:
Connect to running Sugar session
cp = ConfigParser()

Another great program to use to install .xo bundles. is 'xo-get'. Has
both a console/terminal and Sugar/GUI interface.

p.s xo-get also has one of the most extensive collections of available .xo
