> The 8.2.1 early thinking is here: > http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-November/021388.html If we want to ship any G1 or ChangeTheWorld machines without DRM and with pretty boot, we'll want to put a fix for #7896 into 8.2.1 (and 9.1). The fix goes into /boot/olpc.fth in the software release, but only a few people have tested it, and with varying results. If we don't put this into the OS release, people who get non-DRM machines will get the traditional Linux text-console bootup. (Which is OK by me, but OLPC might prefer pretty boot.)

Re: will there be an 8.2 update ?
Hi Mikus, I need to take that page down! I am remiss in doing that. Its a page which is automatically generated by Trac. Since Trac items and associated tags are not up to date, its not a useful page. I keep hoping I can fix it but since it hasn't happened, its time to take it down. Michael or anyone in engineering, do you know how to remove that Trac roadmap page? Just take it offline until I can figure out how to make it show something meaningful. The real roadmap, such as it is, is here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Releases Not much there right now but I think 8.2.1 will come together quickly now and 9.1 shortly after that. I will post links to more details on each of those as soon as I get enough buy in. I plan to talk about Trac usage conventions for 9.1 at the next weekly Feature planning meeting on Wed. at 2PM US ET, freenode.net #olpc-meeting. After that I should be able to tell you how to update Trac to flag a bug as a candidate for inclusion in 9.1. The 8.2.1 early thinking is here: http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-November/021388.html To your question: No we do not currently plan to improve the NM 0.6 implementation in 8.2.1. It may still come up as a critical item for Uruguay or another deployment, but so far it is not on the list. I think your best bet is to have issues resolved with NM 0.7, targeted for inclusion in 9.1. Let me know if that is not clear or you need more info.

My rough impression is that if any point releases to 8.2 are made, they will be created at the behest of a deployment via existing country-support procedures. Therefore, I suspect your NM-0.7 ticket will appeal to a larger audience than your 0.6 ticket. However, for completeness, you should also be aware that people with Fedora CVS accounts and access to the joyride drop-boxes can supply new versions of packages for use with 'yum update' for 8.2. Therefore, while I am aware of little specific interest in releasing 8.2-bug-fixes before 9.1, it is technically feasible for interested volunteers to do so of their own accord. Does this help?

will there be an 8.2 update ?
Looking at the "official" http://dev.laptop.org/roadmap, it is not clear to me whether an official update to 8.2 (f9) will be released. My reason for asking is that I have a problem with Network Manager 0.6 (ticket #8343). If there is a chance that 8.2 will be improved, I will leave that ticket open. If 8.2's Network Manager will not be updated, then I can close that ticket as 'wontfix', and instead write a different ticket against the newer Network Manager. [What Network Manager 0.7 does/does_not_do needs to be described differently from what Network Manager 0.6 does/does_not_do.] Will a 'fixpack for 8.2' be released ? mikus ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
