It would be good to improve the situation, but as was discussed in the past, yum does not seem to work very well on the XO. Manually tracking the relevant upstream security updates would require some effort. My own preference is to not work with static software - but to apply as many updates

os240py is based on Sugar 0.88, but months ago we were talking to you about Sugar 0.84, so chances are there is a change to how presence is transported. os240py unmodified, without a multicast route, associated with mesh does show XO icons in the neighbourhood view. Yet it does not show shared
