 Can we renamed soas04.zip to soas04virtualbox.zip in future builds?
 It's confusing to me because .zip does not have any connection to
 virtual machines.

Due to a typo in the Makefile the file that was supposed to be called
soas*.vmdk.zip has been called soas*.zip.  I chose .vmdk.zip because
the file-that-is-zipped is soas*.vmdk.

I have fixed the typo.

Do you think soas*.vmdk.zip is sensible?

[SoaS] New SoaS Snapshot ready!

2009-10-31 Thread Sebastian Dziallas
Hi all,

here's the next snapshot on our way to SoaS v2 Blueberry. This one fixes 
some issues and introduces new features, namely:

* the updated FoodForce2, Slideruler and SocialCalc activities
* the gtk-recordmydesktop tool - execute it from the terminal
* new sample content - Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - see below
* fix boot issues of XO builds - Martin Dengler

The snapshot is available here (following the soas04 naming scheme):

http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/2/

Known issues (https://bugs.launchpad.net/soas/+bugs) include:

* Sugar crashes on XO if vertical scrollbar accessed
* Record fails to launch on a Classmate 2 (Magalhãls)
* No sample maps appear in v2 Snapshots
* Read crashes when trying to display EPUB sample
* CartoonBuilder Activity fails to launch

In case you've an idea what's going on with these issues, please comment 
in their tickets or just reply here, as they're pretty critical for the 
upcoming SoaS release!

Thanks,
--Sebastian

[SoaS] New SoaS Snapshot Ready!

2009-10-24 Thread Sebastian Dziallas
Hi everybody,

I'm happy to announce the availability of a new SoaS snapshot! We're 
only one month away from our release, so testing is very much 
appreciated to find the latest blockers now.

Get your copy from here: http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/2/

This release incorporates the latest Sugar (0.86.3) packages and updates 
the zyx-liveinstaller to a newer version (0.1.14).

Additionally, we were able to resume appliance creation! The .zip file 
in the download directory is exactly what you'll want for that.

We could use help with the following known issues, too:

* Record doesn't work and seems to have issues with its blobs (#423859)
* CartoonBuilder doesn't start at all
* InfoSlicer (its parser) needs to be fixed for Wikipedia
* No sound is apparently working in TamTam

In case we are unable to fix these issues in time, those activities 
won't be shipped in the final release. Please report any other bugs you 
encounter at our bug tracker: https://bugs.launchpad.net/soas

Thanks,
--Sebastian
