[Server-devel] ds-backup

Hi Daniel, I noticed that you were working on ds-backup recently. I was trying to get XSCE running on fc18, and encountered the issue of fedora dropping mod-python (see https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5165). Is it ok to just carry the fc17 version along in our repo, and try to see if it

Tony, et al, The group of developers, working on the XSCE, are indeed attempting to build upon the good work that Daniel Drake did on the XS-0.7. But we are trying to extract the essential information from the history of the school server up to this point. - The XS-0.6, based upon FC4, was

[Server-devel] armv7hl vs armv7l

Hi Peter, You probably know the answer to this question off the top of your head. I've played with fedora's Trimslice armv7hl, using it to recompile XS rpms. Now in conversation with OLPC-Australia, I've agreed to try to apply my stuff to the XO-1.75 pre-release 12.1.0, which I believe is based

[Server-devel] School server on ARM related question: Systemd on fc17 doesn't see ethernet dongles or USB sticks

Hi all, There are no entries in /var/log/messages or dmesg relating to my test USB stick at /dev/sdb1, even though during the boot process, dracut sees an 8 GB sdb as well as the 132GB hard disk on sda that is the rootfs (so I think the proper drivers are in the kernel). I'm playing with the
