 I'll try and find out which Telepathy fixes might be worth pushing into an
 USR. Looking at changelogs, I see at least one bug:

Yeah having the fix for
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14343 would be good.

The fix of #6883 could be worth to ship too.

I've filed #7014 to follow the life-cycle of the first candidate build
containing Sayamindu's changes (plus a few other odds and ends). I'll
need your help in the next couple of days to close that ticket by
reviewing all the code changes made against the 703 package-set, finding
or writing appropriate tests for the bugs listed, and executing those
tests (as well as the smoke test).

Also, I remain interested in pulling in other changes that close
existing bugs. Please suggest some plausible changes. (I'll suggest a
few myself in my next email).

Re: [sw-eco] Keyboard Support for Haiti Ethiopia - OLPC 8.1.1 bugfix release

2008-05-15 Thread Kim Quirk
I'm just getting some feedback from Quanta on problems with Mongolian
laptops as they are producing a couple thousand this week and will be
shipping them out.

I will try to recreate these issues and we can see if they fit the same
areas of change and if there is another fix that could be a candidate for
bug fix release.

Looking ahead, the next new keyboard/country that will be manufactured is
Dari (Afghanistan), starting in 2 weeks from now. Perhaps I can get to
testing that one as well with 703 and see what issues they will have BEFORE
they have them.  After Dari, there are only English and Spanish laptops for
5-6 weeks.

For people who want to help with this testing, the basic idea is that you
need to set your laptop to the desired country and then follow the test
cases found here:

Blake Setlow was the first to take me up on my offer; he asked me to
consider the fixes for #5268 and #1002 discussed previously in:

  http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-March/012052.html and
  http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-May/013611.html

and offered his assistance testing 704 in exchange. Because #5268 is an
iconic bug which may offer some relief to those with jumpy touchpads, I
am inclined to consider his changes on these terms even though I suspect
that it may exhaust our remaining QA resources to attempt to qualify
them.

If you have other issues you wish to propose, you need to do so by
Sunday night so that I can make an informed decision about how to
proceed if 704 turns out to be worth keeping.

Michael

P.S. - Dennis, Blake, and I spoke with Andres to learn of his feelings
on how to proceed. He informed us that he does not consider it feasible
to QA a 2.6.25 kernel or to backport his touchpad driver in time for our
bugfix release. However, in preparation for our August release, he
requested more extensive testing of his 'testing' kernel series, which
we should endeavor to provide by using these kernels in the joyride,
faster, olpc3, etc. builds.
