  Hi Paul
  
  timely - I was just hacking on olpc-utils, bitfrost and sugar on
  exactly the same thing (while on the plane, no internet).
  
  Something along the lines of what you have is needed, I'll probably
  merge it into my hacking. And we need it as part of a mini bash
  function library as well, machine identification and other tasks
  reading from ofw are spread across olpc-utils at random.
  
  So I'll prolly hack olpc-hwinfo into a shell of what you posted (oh!
  the pun!) -- calling into shared function calls. And will refactor
  other scripts to match.

something else i found this morning, while looking at #11126 -- udev
uses dmi/id/product_name to decide to apply our keyboard map.  this
won't work on 1.75, so i guess we'll need to choose a/the canonical
method of distinguishing a 1.75 from sysfs.

  cheers,

  The initial proposed agenda is:

  * ARM hard-float
   + What is it and why does it matter?
   + How can distributions keep compatible (i.e. gcc triplet to
 describe the port)?

  * Adding support for ARM as an architecture to the Linux Standard
   Base (LSB)
   + Does it matter?
   + What's needed?

  * FHS - multi-arch coming soon, how do we proceed?

  * 3D support on ARM platforms
   + Open GL vs. GLES - which is appropriate?

 but I'm sure that other people will think of more issues they'd like
 to discuss. :-)


from the point of LSB and FHS (as I'm part of both of those workgroups),
I don't know if there will be anyone there representing those groups, but
if that would be valuable it might be possible to prod LF into sending
Jeff Licquia - just ask early enough!  Otherwise... Steve, you know where
to poke at us.  My email address might hint that I might not have any
time to work on it, but I'll always answer questions :)

trac, authentication, cookie expiry, increase

2011-08-10 Thread James Cameron
Someone asked for the trac authentication cookie to last longer than a
browser session.  This has been applied in trac upstream, so I grabbed
the change an applied it to our trac.

The cookie now expires in six days.

I'm interested to know if it works for you.  If you already have a
cookie with expiry set to session, then please delete it before
reporting a problem.  ;-}
