Re: About 8.2.2 unlocking

I think for the case of Cambodia with many small deployments (educational NGOs got XOs donated from G1G1/OLPC or other donors), no signed builds probably means that the XOs don't get updated anymore. Are you trying to say that the Cambodian OLPC recipients don't have any serious chance of

Philipp - I would prefer not to speculate about what is happening or not happening in various locations; if small XO situations want updates they can obtain developer keys for them. I'm not aware of any requests from Cambodia for software updates they don't have, or for signed builds. It's

- It won't be signed by OLPC. You have to be on an unlocked XO, or be a deployment signing your own builds. Is there a reason why 8.2.2 doesn't get signed by OLPC? I do understand that the main target group are big deployments which can sign the build, but why are others excluded? In the

Hi Ed, Martin What is the plan for the Fedora 11 build for XO-1, will OLPC sign such a build or is 802 the last build signed by OLPC? I don't think one of the two options is a good solution for small deployments without a tech team. I think for the case of Cambodia with many small deployments
