Ah yes, I forgot the specifics. odict is needed until Python 3.0, but Python 2.6 adds the dict_type constructor parameter for ConfigParser so MyConfigParser is not needed with python 2.6.

Re: [Server-devel] Backup and Recovery
Martin, After turning on verbose debugging in the logs and tailing them during an attempted restore. I noticed a series of errors that ended with AttributeError: "JournalEntryBundle" object has no attribute 'get_bundle_id' I don't believe it's browse as it seems to be doing the right thing. I tried uninstalling the rpm and installing from activities.sugarlabs.org and got the same results. It occurs when the file has been placed in the journal. The journal checks if it's an activity or content bundle. When checking the metadata for the journal entry created for the backup file, I noticed that the activity and activity_id files are empty and the mime_type says it is "application/vnd.olpc-journal-entry". Does this sound right ?

2009/10/27 Martin Langhoff : > Right... makes sense. I am a bit intrigued with the custom config file > parser / writer (that is 3x the sloc of the whole xs-activation ;-) ). It's not really a custom config file parser. It's a trivial change to Python's own ConfigParser class. The only change is in the constructor IIRC, which now lets you use a custom dictionary type. > I am guessing the key motivator is that YAML, JSON and other config > formats won't preserve ordering correctly, right? I didn't feel that JSON is appropriate for a config file, especially so in oatslite (which allows more per-OS configuration). I don't know anything about YAML. > - is MyConfigParser used anywhere else? I don't understand this question. My patch only adds it for xs-activation purposes. > - odict is only needed on F9, correct? It is needed up until Python 3.0, unless you know of a python ordered dictionary class which is shipped with your distro-of-choice. (I don't know of any, meaning that it will still be needed even with F12) It's a bit ugly with these 2 classes but at least their importance is trivial to explain and they can sit independently, and we have a path for getting rid of them (Python 3.0). > What is needed in terms of config parsing is pretty simple -- I > suspect there are a couple of simple ways we could avoid depending on > the ordering of the config file, with less code. Alternative implementations/suggestions welcome :) In my opinion the ordering is the main purpose of having to use a config file here.
