Re: [Server-devel] automatic olpc-update from XS

2009/2/18 Martin Langhoff martin.langh...@gmail.com:
 the original plan was to rig all that from the anti-theft proto. On
 the server side, there's a lot of work to do to make that happen. On
 the laptop side, it's unclear. For many months my emails to cscott on
 the matter went unanswered, I reviewed the code with mstone last Dec
 and it appeared to be lacking important bits.

Which bits did you think were missing? I discussed this with Michael
the other day and concluded that no XO-side changes were needed, but I
might have missed something. We just need something on the XS side
which implements the version-checking part of the antitheft protocol.

 No. If you find a usable path down that way, _fantastic_ and I'll be
 happy to merge it in.

Michael seems keen on working with us on developing this into an XS
feature. I am not sure when I'll have time to attack this head-on but
it's definitely something that I'll be working on.

[Server-devel] automatic olpc-update from XS

[Daniel Drake]

Hi,

Has anyone looked into making the XS serve automatic OS updates to XO
over the network?
I know about http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS-rsync but it does not really
explain how the XOs perform the update...

Am I right in guessing that currently some voodoo must be run on the
XO to get olpc-update looking at the XS, and then it must be triggered
manually on each XO?
If so, has anyone investigated the work needed to publish an update
which the XOs will automatically update using the olpc-update --auto
cronjob that is already in place?

Thanks,
Daniel
