In case someone needs to understand this setup, the control logic is mainly in

  nminfo.py
  nmclient.py
  MeshBox.py

The whole thing is a mesh of callbacks. Lots of objects around the
Sugar desktop subscribe directly to NM events. Coordination and
decisionmaking is moderately centralised in those 3 files above.

So I have a candidate patch, attached to #9936 - seems to work well,
but I'd need failing APs to test it fully. Been testing it with wrong
passphrases ;-)

The only AP I have handy right now (Airport Express) does not show the
bug with 802B1. It does hit the dhclient/dbus timing issue on 802
pretty often, and it completely fails with 767. But with 802B1, it
connects very solidly.

... knowing where to hack is 99.9% of the battle, as usual... once I
found nminfo.py...

cheers,

[Sugar-devel] Fresh Sugar presetnations?

2010-02-10 Thread Bernie Innocenti
For an upcoming talk, I'd like to remix some of my old Sugar
presentations and include new technical and introductory information
about SoaS and Sugar's core components.

Can anyone point me at existing presentations from which I could
shamelessly rip graphics and good ideas?

Re: [Sugar-devel] Activity SoaS Licensing Concerns

2010-02-10 Thread Sebastian Dziallas
Sebastian Dziallas wrote:
 Hi folks,

 I've lately taken the task of packaging more activities to get us a
 reasonably user experience for the next iteration of SoaS. The normal
 review process requires an application to be properly and clearly
 licensed. I'd like to encourage activity authors to work on getting
 these clarifications, if needed, committed into GIT.

 For example, if your activity doesn't contain a license file that states
 unambiguously the licenses of the *whole* activity and all of its
 bundled libraries, a kind of per-file licensing would be good, as some
 files would be otherwise without a license specification.

 I'm not trying to make things up here, but am rather just realistic, as
 such things are simply blockers. I'll try to follow up with people...

Actually, another topic is the SoaS boot screen. Since we need to get 
that packaged in Fedora in time (meaning basically as soon as possible), 
we need to have a public location where we host a tarball or a GIT repo 
of the boot screen picture files, together with licensing information.

Can I just move ahead and put them in git.sl.o?

 Thanks,
 --Sebastian

[Sugar-devel] sugar-launch, with brief activity name

2010-02-10 Thread James Cameron
G'day,

The sugar-launch [0] utility used to accept a brief activity name, such as
Maze.  It was changed [1] to require a bundle id, such as vu.lux.olpc.Maze.

This is less easy to use [2].

Can we discuss whether a brief activity name can be used instead or as
well as a bundle id?

[Sugar-devel] [RELEASE] sugar-0.87.4

2010-02-10 Thread Simon Schampijer

http://download.sugarlabs.org/sources/sucrose/glucose/sugar/sugar-0.87.4.tar.bz2


== News ==

- Add Connection Information to 3G Support (Daniel Castelo, Plan Ceibal) 
#1652

- Fallback to system locale #1715 (silbe)
   Set the language to the system one if no ~/.i18n is present

- simplify jarabe.journal.model._Cache (#1651)
   cache.remove_all(cache) doesn't work as expected as we're iterating 
over the object we're modifying. cache won't be empty after this call, 
causing the caching algorithm to break.

- Updated ALL_LINGUAS

- Fix some po formatting errors

- Implement support for 3G modems (tch) #1622

- Use-sugar.datastore. instead of direct DBus access #1198 (silbe)

- sugar, sugar-emulator: refuse to run as root (#1675)
   It's a very bad idea to run Sugar as root for a variety of reasons, 
but there seem to be people who try it (and fail) nevertheless. Failing 
early and with a clear message increases safety and safes precious 
developer and user time.

- set default language (#614)

- Implement mesh support again for NM 0.7 (dsd) #230
