I often have builds (in /versions) on my XO from dissimilar streams (e.g., Joyride vs. Update.1). Now that installation of Activities is a separate process, I'm assuming that if an Activity in /home/olpc/Activities works when one stream has been booted, then it will work as well when the other stream has been booted.
But are there Activities which have a "version dependency" regarding the services they receive from resident modules ? [For instance, does it matter which level of libraries any Activity binaries were compiled against ?] I'm particularly thinking of "two-part" applications such as Etoys, where both an Activity bundle and an RPM package are needed. If I install Etoys-84.xo (the latest bundle) in /home/olpc/Activities, but then boot 708, will Etoys-84 be able to work with whatever level of services is provided in build 708 ? [If not -- does any Activity_version <--> Build_version compatibility checking get done at activity launch time ?] mikus _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
