Re: [Sugar-devel] SLOBs Position on SoaS
2009/9/16 Jim Simmons nices...@gmail.com: Sebastian, I have a similar question. What I want to know is, when I am finally able to upgrade my XO from .82 to something better, will I use SoaS to do it? Or will I be able to do upgrades over the network as I have done in the past? You will probably have both options. There are efforts to make SoaS run well on the XO through an additional released image. There are also efforts to backport the XO-1.5 distribution work to the XO-1. We previously decided that we would again enable the olpc-update technology for the XO-1.5, but that work has not been completed yet. Presumably when that happens, the XO-1 builds will follow suit.

I'd love to hear an official answer on this. Soon. Is the current SoaS going to be the primary way Sugar Labs distributes a Sugar-centric GNU/Linux distribution? --Sebastian ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

I believe the answer depends on your definition of something better. .82 most probably means a release of the distribution created and still maintained by the OLPC project, targeted specifically for the XO laptops. The better thing might be the official successor to that release, done by same organisation. The better thing might be to abandon that distribution and switch to some alternative. The better alternative might be SoaS, it might be Debian, it might be Ubuntu, it might be... Did you already decide that SoaS is your preferred successor, and all you ask is _when_ SoaS will be stable enough for you (perhaps you then need to clarify what parts you depend on and what you can let go of)? Or do you ask the SoaS developers if their system is better than those of their competitors (a somewhat rhetorical question, I believe)? Or did you ask _all_ distributors of Sugar which is considered the better alternative to the dated .82 provided by OLPC?
