Re: [Sugar-devel] [fedora-arm] ARM Environment too slow for build

[Basanta Shrestha]

Exactly as you suggested, I didn't have to make tarball. Linking the
firefox file to required location did the job. It just required some minor
modifications like os.execl('.launch.sh','DUMMY')  and replacing
"service_name"  with "bundle_id" on activity.info file and I could run the
"EPaath" activity perfectly.

Now there is just a minor problem and that is when I close the activity
after using it is says "EPaath failed to start". I guess it has something
to do with activity not being suitable with new sugar interface.

Thank you for the clarification. Daniel, could we make the github bot
just join the channel instead of setting -n? This is how we were doing
it with

I've given ACLs to dnarvaez on #sugar and #sugar-meeting and left +n
set. Switch the flag if there's no better way, but be prepared to switch
it back in case it gets abused by spammers.

Re: [Sugar-devel] IRC chanserv command

[Samuel Greenfeld]

The +n (no external messages from users not on the channel) is an anti-spam
measure and a default for all newly-created Freenode channels.

So you might not want to remove it, even if the IRC server will let you.

Re: [Sugar-devel] [RFC] Content support

[Chris Leonard]

One of the things that would be needed to fully support content bundles
(which I have experimented with creating), would to be able to host them in
ASLO, it would also be important to clarify the process of deleting a
content bundle, which used to require a manual editting of some file to
make it go away from the OLPC Library section in Browse.

I would really like ot see improved management of content bundles and I am
very supportive of steps to make th4em easier to work with.

It would be interesting to see if increasing communication and
interaction between upstream Sugar and Dextrose add value to either
project. I believe there is potential for mutual benefit.

On the other hand, I am satisfied with how OLPC, Sugar Labs, and
Activity Central each each settled into their own niches within the
ecosystem.

If you find anything in Dextrose or AC which you can use to add value
to please feel free to use it.

[Sugar-devel] [sugar-build] Yet another attempt to get upgrade logic righ

[Daniel Narvaez]

Hello,

I came up with yet another approach for upgrading sugar-build and osbuild
automatically. We are now checking if there are changes on all commands but
while the command is being run, so that we don't slow down. Checking only
on some commands was not good enough because that might make you miss
required updates.

The upgrade logic  is really complicated and hard to test in all the
conditions so if you notice anything weird please report the issue and I
will try to fix it asap.

[Sugar-devel] Yet another project to port Sugar to Android ?

[lionel]

Hi all,

 

In a recent blog post on the OLPC association web site [1], I read that
there is a new (at least for me) project to port Sugar to Android.

Specifically, the post mentioned that the work is done by Morphoss [2], a
New Zealand company and that it allow to use Sugar on the XO tablet.

 

I wonder if anyone on this list know this work and in which way it could be
linked with the current work on HTML5 Sugar Framework?

 

Of course it’s clear for me that it’s better to work together on the same
project instead of working on two different projects to do the same thing !

 

Tell me what you think.

 

Lionel.
