Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugar now has smoke test procedures.
Very Nice, We were contacted Friday by a company that sells a rebranded Intel Classmate. They asked if Sugar would run on their product. It will be very helpful to have something like Smoke_test! david On Mon, Feb 23, 2009 at 1:15 AM, Mel Chua m...@melchua.com wrote: Because of the impending 0.84 release and the need to have a simple answer to the question does build X work?

Ww, this is fantastic, thanks Colin, Elsa and Mel! Yay Olin :) Needed: * a link to good 0.84 installation/setup instructions (step-by-step here's how to set up to test our latest build directions) - can someone point us in the direction of whatever is considered canonical for this release? We have instructions for SoaS. The whole page could use some cleanups. In particular we should not mix different distributions in the same page imo and we should expand the linux section. But it's a start. http://sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick#Fedora_based_Sugar_on_a_Stick In general I suggest that we don't settle on a *single* canonical distributions but we list all the distributions that matches certain criteria. For example: ship a very recent Sugar version, are reasonably easy and documented to install, are in a good enough state to be tested by non-developers. In practice SoaS is probably the only one that matches them at the moment, hopefully that will change soon.

If someone has time it would also be good to test liveusb-creator in Fedora (following the Windows instructions on our wiki), if it works it should be easier to use than the command line script. https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/ (Can't test myself right now, I don't have a Fedora install) Marco ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
