There are two separate issues I encountered with TA (and Measure).
One is the need for patches to the alsa audio to accommodate the
special OLPC hardware modifications.
That would need to be accepted upstream by the alsa project, and then
distros will automatically get the changes when they
Alas, the blocker with Measure (and Turtle Art with Sensors) is that
we haven't come to consensus regarding a packaging strategy for the
binary drivers we include for support of the sensor input; these
differ by architecture, which wasn't a problem when we were building
for just one
There's generally no issue with hardware specific packages in distros
(there certainly isn't an issue in Fedora), from the quick read I had
of the ticket it looks more like the turtle activity didn't work on
the non XO hardware. I presume that's because it couldn't load the
specific libraries.
