Re: [Sugar-devel] [SoaS] MacBook_Persistent_SoaS_v5_and_SoaS_v6_EFI_Boot_USB ( boots directly from USB )
Hi... I am following the progress of this with great interest, and as soon as I finish the work I promised to do on the Help Activity/Users Manual refresh, I will have a chance to try it. I do have a few questions that will help me get started. 1) Which Mac OS X are you running? 2) Has this been tested on a MacBook? 3) Can I create the persistent usb on my MacBook using the instructions I found in item 4 on this page? http://www.webupd8.org/2009/04/4-ways-to-create-bootable-live-usb.html If this works, it is really good news! I would love to be able to show it at SCaLE 10X in Los Angeles on Jan 20-22. Should I put in a proposal for a presentation or is it not ready for the big time yet? Better still would someone from Sugar Labs like to do a presentation at SCaLE? I'm looking forward to hearing answers!

Only EFI USB's written from the RC4 x86-64 Soas.iso will boot directly in my Mac. I would be willing to send a 2 GB EFI USB to you to test If you like. Let me know where to send it.

[Sugar-devel] [MINUTES] Development team meeting --- 1. Nov 2011 (15:00 UTC)
Hi, this was the first development team meeting after a long time, I am happy we made this happen. This will be a weekly meeting, those who have not joined this week can start doing next week. This week's meeting was about getting developers up to speed that had not have the chance to attend the hackfest in Praha [1]. So we gathered questions related to the work that has been done [2]. Furthermore we discussed what is important for activity authors when doing new releases, which branch they should work in and what is expected to be present in the gtk-2 based branch. The discussion has been gathered in the activity porting guide [3]. In short: * bug fix work should happen on a separate branch, we recommend naming that 'sugar-0.94' * dotted versions for bug fix releases, major releases for future releases * pootle will only handle the master branch by default, activity authors are discouraged to push new strings to their bug-fix branch The action items for this week are: * check if ASLO supports well having different activity versions, dotted versions and major versions * check which activities uses a drawable which has to be replaced by cairo calls * write up cairo porting guide (walter) Logs can be found at [4] (I did start the bot late, full log at the end of the mail). Next meeting will be the 8th of November 15:00 (UTC) in #sugar-meeting.

Was this intended or just work in progress? erikos: garycmartin: just work in progress walterbender: garycmartin: there was no intention at this point to make deisgn changes... just get things working erikos: garycmartin: we have two main areas that are 'broken' at the moment manuq: what is the state of the theme port? there is a plan or a schedule? erikos: palettes (benjamin and marco have been working on that) erikos: and the theme garycmartin: erikos: Also only just realised that GTK3 drops all it's drawing/image bits, and recommends moving over to ciaro. I'll need to do that for Moon (it's been something I intended to do anyway), I wonder how many other activities may be using GTK2 drawing primitives... erikos: manuq: ben has been working on it and will continue, I presume, but help is welcome of course erikos: manuq: and I presume needed as he is a volunteer erikos: garycmartin: correct, walter did work on TA for that erikos: garycmartin: he will post some help about that later erikos: garycmartin: (should be as well in his repo) walterbender^^ - dsd_ has joined the room manuq: I wonder if there is a need to change Paint also manuq: I will check erikos: manuq: garycmartin: yes, maybe someone can go through the activities and make alist which ones need porting to cairo manuq: ok erikos: maybe for now, just check the ones that are in an olpc build to start with walterbender: I ported Abacus to gtk-3 (with lots of benzea help) erikos: takers for that task? walterbender: and I am almost done with TA for gtk-3 erikos: hey dsd_ (everything packed already?) walterbender: but I made no UI changes garycmartin: erikos: I can do some quick grep actions and see what activities I spot using GTK2 drawing. erikos: garycmartin: great, thanks manuq: walterbender: that's great news! erikos: I will grab benzea to see what he says about the theme and he has some unpushed palette code walterbender: garycmartin: I suspect that many if not

On 10/19/2011 05:19 PM, Simon Schampijer wrote: Hi, I have outlined a possible 0.96 schedule at [1]. The following things have been changed/adjusted due to experiences from previous schedules: * I want to make sure we have early releases already to gather feedback of the current state. Those may break and have issues but some of the testers may want to have a look at them already. * We will have a feature submission deadline to be able to do a bit of planning and to get feedback about those features from the community. Also there will be a date when the accepted features are announced. No new features are accepted for proposal for that cycle after that date. * After the feature freeze we have a window of 4 weeks to make UI and string adjustments. This is important as often we get feedback when the features landed and need to adjust the UI including the strings. The UI and string freeze is at the same date, no need to have the string freeze at a later date. * We have a window of 4 weeks for bug fixes and stabilization after the UI/string freeze. As always the schedule is aligned with the GNOME schedule (3.4) and the upcoming Fedora 17 schedule. Please let me know what you think.

How long do we keep them If space is really a concern, it could just be a stable image for using and a bleeding-edge one for testing.

[Sugar-devel] [PATCH sugar-datastore] Ensure we return valid internal / calculated properties
The copy in the metadata storage can get corrupted, e.g. due to low level
crashes or running out of battery (see OLPC#11372 [1] for a real-life
example).
This is especially problematic for the uid property, since without it the
caller (i.e. the Journal) can't even figure out which entry to delete.

Passes the test suite - at least after fixing the latter to accept decimal
strings instead of just integers for the 'filesize' property. No difference
in performance noticeable with three runs of the test suite (default
settings, on my desktop machine).

Re: [Sugar-devel] [PATCH sugar-datastore] Ensure we return valid internal / calculated properties
I'm glad to see fixes for corrupted metadata, but I wonder if the application (the datastore process) is properly asking the kernel to retain the data? I wouldn't like to see it block on a sync, but I thought there were ways to ask for the data to be written soon. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
