Yes, unfortunately. Something like olpc-update --server <yourservername> <version> you can skip the --server param if you are masking 'updates.l.o' in your local DNS. the original plan was to rig all that from the anti-theft proto. On the server side, there's a lot of work to do to make that happen. On the laptop side, it's unclear. For many months my emails to cscott on the matter went unanswered, I reviewed the code with mstone last Dec and it appeared to be lacking important bits. > If so, has anyone investigated the work needed to publish an update > which the XOs will automatically update using the olpc-update --auto > cronjob that is already in place? No. If you find a usable path down that way, _fantastic_ and I'll be happy to merge it in. 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 [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
