I sent Diego a link [1] to the latest OLPC release for the XO-1, In case he gets tired of dogfooding development images for us.

Announcing Q4D15 for XO-1.75
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Firmware_q4d14 - add new .os command for identifying installed build; it displays the file /boot/olpc_build without having to start the operating system, useful for managing test laptops, (XO-1 and XO-1.5 will get this command in future releases). - remove support for USB serial adapter keyboard input, in order to avoid boot failure if a USB serial adapter or PL2303 based USB GPS is attached; previously the boot may hang (#11871) or repeating keyboard interrupt messages may appear (#11887), (XO-1 and XO-1.5 already ignore such devices) -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Sounds worth pursuing but perhaps not high pri -- we do have some burning topics at this time. Can you file it in dev.laptop.org, with a bit more fleshing out?

Sugar allegedly supports fallbacks, but they are not working properly for us right now: https://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/999 Our fallback for now is to use en_GB as the primary language.

Yes, which admittedly makes this discussion redundant for those who use our builds. I am only really asking because you have gone to the trouble (thanks!) of including en_AU, which in its current state is only useful if there's an en_GB fallback. This actually makes sense, since en_AU and en_GB are probably 99% identical. Sridhar ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

On behalf of the kids that I test with ... I'd prefer that we not include en_AU at all if we can't also include en_GB, but I don't know if we have the ability to configure fallbacks in Sugar.
