Re: ip4-address buddy property - still needed?
The feature, although not usable by the activities, it has other benefits. By observing the buddy list, you acquire instant information of the network connection go the users: when connected to channel 1 for example: 169.254.x.x address are in link-local 172.18.x.x are connected to schoolserver when connected to a jabber server: 169.254.x.x are connected through an MPP 18x.x.x are media lab 172.18.x.x are connected to schoolserver in olpc etc It is information continuously used in network testing, also useful from the users prespective: 1. in the case of connecting to multiple jabber servers, the user should be able to tell which XO in the neighbout view belongs to the same school 2. get the geopraphical location of another user In future versions of the neighbor view, or through other activities, the user should be able to filter for specific XOs according to location, or school(in the case he's connected to many servers). Two children in the same school should be able to recognize each other even if they are connected through a jabber server, other then the one in the school. It can also be useful for locating an XO in case of theft. I have also added a ticket(4405) for adding the public id in the buddy list properties. It is a small part of data(both IPs, private and public), which can be harmfully incorporated in the telepathy services.

While I welcome the new activities and think it is great to integrate them into sugar, can we reconsider completely doing away with the dev console? It is /very/ useful to have the console open on an xo while the activity you are debugging is running behind it. Can't you have both the old console and the new activities?

Re: ip4-address buddy property - still needed?
Several parts for your replies refer to issues we have discussed before. The tickets 4463,4405,4404,4403 include the new requirements and enhancements for the presence service, in benefit of user+developer To summarize 1. User+devel should be able to switch between gabble to salut manually using the options: auto,salut,gabble (4403) 2. User+devel should be able to connect/disconnect to one (or many, in the future) jabber server (4463) 3. User+devel should have access to public+private IP (4405) There are several reasons for each one of these. Now, if you observe them combined, the importance of IP information is: user's prespective: assume for example 60 XOs are connected to a public jabber server(e.g. jabber.laptop.org). Five of these belong to the same school. They should be able to filter themselves. devel's perspective: 1. From 1 XO we can test intantly which XO's are connected in a specific configuration 2. IPs give irreplaceable information regarding whether the XO is connected to MPP, AP, schoolserver, NAT etc 3.(very important). when an XO is connected is connected to an MPP, we need to now the name of it. The buddy list links IP with name and many more regarding the privacy issue of giving away the IP, regarding that all p2p or IM offer this capability , it shouldnt be an issue, yani On 10/26/07, Sjoerd Simons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Fri, Oct 26, 2007 at 12:20:01AM -0400, Giannis Galanis wrote: > > The feature, although not usable by the activities, it has other > benefits. > > > > By observing the buddy list, you acquire instant information of the > network > > connection go the users: > > when connected to channel 1 for example: > > 169.254.x.x address are in link-local > > 172.18.x.x are connected to schoolserver > > > when connected to a jabber server: > > 169.254.x.x are connected through an MPP > > 18x.x.x are media lab > > 172.18.x.x are connected to schoolserver in olpc > > etc > > > It is information continuously used in network testing, > For the link-local case you can just ask avahi for this information > directly. > > For the jabber/server case, i'm unsure why your interested in how other > nodes are > connected to the jabber server in the first place. > > > also useful from the users prespective: > > > 1. in the case of connecting to multiple jabber servers, the user should > be > > able to tell which XO in the neighbout view belongs to the same school > > Maybe this has changed.

This seems an unlikely goal for OLPC. If two users on different Jabber servers want to communicate, the way that is done is that their servers communicate with each other (each user connects only to their own server, which stores and forwards messages, just like e-mail). For instance if a Google Talk user talks to a jabber.org user, a typical message path would be something like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> talk.google.com server -> jabber.org server -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] When we add inter-server communication (#3371, currently scheduled for 1.1) that's the model we should follow, because it's how the protocol already works. At the moment OLPC is only using a subset of the information. The fact that the school server is likely to be geographically close to the user is another OLPC-specific simplification, which is not required by the Jabber protocol. Most jhbuild instances use olpc.collabora.co.uk as their Jabber server; this happens to be on our server in London, but as long as you have an IP route to the Internet, it doesn't actually matter whether you're in an Internet cafe, the MIT Media Lab, the Collabora UK office or whatever. The underlying Telepathy connection managers are fully aware of which server the user is on (the part of the JID after the @); Presence Service currently hides this, in an attempt to provide a simplified view to activities. It would be entirely possible to expose additional information, or for interested activities to query the Telepathy connection manager directly. > 2. get the geopraphical location of another user > > In future versions of the neighbor view, or through other activities, the > user should be able to filter for specific XOs according to location, or > school(in the case he's connected to many servers).

By observing the buddy list, you acquire instant information of the network connection go the users: when connected to channel 1 for example: 169.254.x.x address are in link-local 172.18.x.x are connected to schoolserver when connected to a jabber server: 169.254.x.x are connected through an MPP 18x.x.x are media lab 172.18.x.x are connected to schoolserver in olpc etc It is information continuously used in network testing, also useful from the users prespective: 1. in the case of connecting to multiple jabber servers, the user should be able to tell which XO in the neighbout view belongs to the same school 2. get the geopraphical location of another user In future versions of the neighbor view, or through other activities, the user should be able to filter for specific XOs according to location, or school(in the case he's connected to many servers). Two children in the same school should be able to recognize each other even if they are connected through a jabber server, other then the one in the school. It can also be useful for locating an XO in case of theft. I have also added a ticket(4405) for adding the public id in the buddy list properties.

And it removed within a week, even if someone grumbles... - Jim On Thu, 2007-10-25 at 10:15 +0100, Simon McVittie wrote: > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > Hash: SHA1 > > We still have one set of OLPC-specific patches to Salut (the link-local > collaboration backend) that has been rejected upstream, which is the one > that adds support for the deprecated ip4-address buddy property.

I'm currently rewriting this to use tubes, intended to be completed before 1.0. If you remove the property, please raise #3758 to blocker priority. Or maybe open a new blocker for tubification. - Bert - ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Erik ported Read over to tubes and is working on the camera app AFAIK. I'm not sure if the read bits went into git though? There were some small issues with the patch that needed be corrected before pushing to git for Read. One other user might be Etoys. Dan > Is anyone still using this property? If not, can we kill it?

ip4-address buddy property - still needed?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 We still have one set of OLPC-specific patches to Salut (the link-local collaboration backend) that has been rejected upstream, which is the one that adds support for the deprecated ip4-address buddy property. This was used during a transitional period to enable simple TCP-based collaboration for activities that didn't use Tubes; Sjoerd is reluctant to keep this patch set, because it's meant to have gone away by now! Is anyone still using this property? If not, can we kill it? It was added in Trial-2, and it was meant to be gone by Trial-3 but was left in just in case, so it really ought to disappear. When it does, we can delete some code from Salut and Presence Service. Places it's exposed in the APIs, which I propose to get rid of: PS D-Bus API: Buddy.GetProperties() returns a dict that contains "ip4-address": "10.0.0.1" (or whatever), and Buddy.PropertyChanged signal includes a dict that can contain the same sugar.presence: Buddy has a GLib property "ip4-address" (aka buddy.props.ip4_address) and can emit it in its property-changed signal The Read activity appears to be the only thing in my jhbuild that uses ip4-address (#4297). It should be ported to either stream tubes (when they're ready in Salut, which should be this or next week) or D-Bus tubes (now). Gabble already supports stream tubes, so stream-tube support can be implemented on a branch and tested against Gabble. Porting from plain TCP to stream tubes should be very straightforward; I hope to produce a proof-of-concept patch for Read later today.
