The pull requests are: sugar-datastore: https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-datastore/pull/2 sugar-artwork: https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-artwork/pull/7 sugar: https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/pull/62 This work is based on previous implementations, but is different in many ways. In particular, the previous implementation had a performance problem, when the user wanted to select all the ellements in the journal. As the datastore is designed to return the data paginated, the journal needed to do several queries to get all the uids needed to create the list of selected items. This problem is solved adding a method to the datastore to get the uids belonging to a query. As the datastore get that information from the index, the query is really fast. Other visible change is the use of real checkboxes in the listview, instead of icons with a checkbox drawn. In a desktop, the checkbox is not displayed right, but in the xo is ok. Surely something we need solve in the theme. Another difference in behavior is now the user can interrupt a operation while is running. If you realize you started to delete all the objects in a pen drive, you can stop it, and at least part will be saved.

[Sugar-devel] Usage of sugar-build
I finally got sugar-build working on Fedora 19 last night. I plan to update Make Your Own Sugar Activities! to discuss this. Some stuff I plan to include: How to use visudo to edit the sudoers file to allow your account to install RPMs using sudo. How to install gcc and python development, which are required for osbuild build to work. How to use Ctrl-Alt-F2 to open a virtual terminal, which you will use to run ./osbuild run. Using Ctrl-Alt-Fkey to go from the Sugar environment to your Python development environment. Running multiple copies of sugar-build as different users to test collaboration with just one PC. Using the older version of Sugar which runs in a window, and why the current one does not use a window (problems with keystrokes being intercepted by Xephyr, etc.) Avoiding the Shut Down option in sugar-build, because it actually shuts down the machine. Using Alt-Shift-Q to quit the Sugar environment. Speculation on what will happen with future RPM distributions of Sugar. Will there still be a menu option under Education? Anything else anyone can think of? James Simmons ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

Re: [Sugar-devel] Usage of sugar-build
Manuel, I am aware that ./osbuild run can be done from within a GNOME session. I did it that way the first time I ran it. What I need to provide to my readers is a way they can easily move from a development environment to a Sugar environment and back again. Running Sugar in a window made that easy. Generally when I debug a Sugar Activity I just quit and relaunch the Activity to test it. Relaunching Sugar is not necessary. The business with launching it from a virtual terminal makes that possible, and also makes it possible to run multiple copies of Sugar under different IDs so you can test collaboration. In the absence of any instructions I assumed that this is what I was meant to do. If there is an easier way to bounce between Sugar and GNOME without restarting Sugar each time I'd love to hear about it. As for web activities, we do have a guest chapter from Lionel on the subject. I agree the book needs more but I get the impression that we're still working out the details on this. I am somewhat comfortable with HTML, JS, CSS, embedded fonts, and the like but I may not be the best person to write these chapters, at least until things stabilize a bit.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Usage of sugar-build
I noticed that the sugar-build script installs the framebuffer version of X11 so I assumed it was meant to start from a virtual terminal. That does work. If it is running in a GNOME window but full screen how do you go about switching to another window? Would Alt-Tab do it? I remember that we wanted to get rid of Xephyr, and I've experienced problems with Sugar in Xephyr myself so I can see why, but I'm still kind of puzzled by this and I think MYOSA readers would be too.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Usage of sugar-build
I tried out Alt-Tab switching and it works fine. I also tried prefs.json,
with mixed results. This is the contents of the file:
{
resolution: 1024x768,
profile: Willy Wonka
}
Resolution worked just fine, and Sugar showed up in a window just like the
old days. Instead of saying Sugar in a Window it says Sugar Runner. I
can't tell if it still uses Xephyr or not.
On the other hand, profile got ignored. In the F1 and F2 views of Sugar
I am identified as James Simmons from my login id, not Willy Wonka.
It seems to me that getting rid of Xephyr was supposed to be a big change
but I'm not seeing that. If you specify a window size everything seems the
same as before. You *can* run Sugar from a text mode virtual terminal,
which may or may not be new.
