A shorter version of this will appeared on Community News soon - - Douglas started working on the school server this week. He tackled some bugs in the idmgr (#7606 and #7653), but most of the week was really devoted to familiarisation with Fedora and the specifics of the XS. For a while he was befuddled by a faulty network card, but by Friday he was back in control and enjoying himself.
- The "xs-rsync" package is ready and you can update your XO image with it. In general terms, it allows publishing of resources on the XS via rsync, with special support for XO update images. More documentation at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS-rsync . Scott has applied a small patch to olpc-update (thanks!) adds support for an --server parameter. - A mechanism for triggering scripts when you insert a USB disks into a XS is ready. This allows us to deploy content and management scripts via USB disks. Policy and guidelines on how to use this, including security, are taking shape. The mechanism uses a ported version of usbmount - early documentation at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Automount_triggers - Thanks to Axel Thimm we have a fixed fakeroot on the XS, and one less race condition. - Jerry Vonau is exploring ahead on the Fedora 9 port, looking at our custom network scripts, xs-config and livecd/installcd build infrastructure, with a bit of support form Martin Langhoff. cheers, m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
