Re: OLPC upgrades

A patch isn't really appropriate but generally speaking I: - Followed Mitch Bradley's instructions for tar-ing /dev. - Replaced the initrd with a 3 liner using busybox that just mounts NAND and calls switch_root. This involved undoing all the version stuff in the filesystem. - Replaced rc.sys

View Slides is in git.sugarlabs.org

Wade, The current View Slides sends the whole slideshow in a Zip file over the network. These slideshow Zip files can be 20-60 meg and I find that sharing files of that size just doesn't work. Worse, if the original file is still being shared it is impossible to resume a document you have r

Which wikipage lists activities for 8.2.1 ('staging') ?

I'm confused as to which Activities are "mated" to 8.2.1. The subject came up before, when it was pointed out that wikipage Activities/G1G1 lists some newer activity versions than wikipage Activities/G1G1/8.2. Does that mean that wikipage Activities/G1G1 officially applies to the latest 8.2 (i
