Disclaimer: I am asking for help. And I am sharing my experiences: Hi,
Sugar 0.90 has been packaged thanks to Peter in no time. Currently the packages are in updates-testing. They need three Karma points to get into the stable branch and hence can be included in the nightly builds. Only three points, I hear you say? Sounds easy enough. And actually here are the good news, it is easy enough! You can do the following: === Install latest Soas and install the 0.90 rpms === - grab the latest build from http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/soas/ and put it on a stick - when you booted successfully open a terminal et root: su - then you can install the latest packages with: yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing [package-name] example: yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing sugar - What should update you all the packages is the following command: yum groupinstall --enablerepo=updates-testing sugar-desktop - then it is good to enable the sugar logs before restarting sugar, in a terminal edit .sugar/debug and un-comment the last line (use your editor of choice here) - you now need to restart sugar and start you testing - Tip-of-the-day: if you want to see the current version of an installed package you can use the following command in the terminal (no need to be root) rpm -q [package-name] example: rpm -q sugar === Give the Karma points === After all the hard work of testing you will want to share your results. You can update the karma points at: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/login?_csrf_token=22e572c58d9f8900afdd5092448f24e6c27d327c Yes you need to have an account for that, but it is easy to do. The packages below needs updating - and as you see I have done my job as well :) https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/sugar-browse-118-1.fc14,sugar-imageviewer-15-1.fc14,sugar-write-71-1.fc14 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/etoys-4.1.2388-1.fc14,sugar-chat-68-1.fc14,sugar-datastore-0.90.0-1.fc14,sugar-base-0.90.1-1.fc14,sugar-toolkit-0.90.0-1.fc14,sugar-artwork-0.90.0-1.fc14,sugar-0.90.0-1.fc14 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/sugar-turtleart-98-1.fc14,etoys-4.1.2387-1.fc14 Of course you can as well ask questions here, if you are unsure if something is a bug or not or if you just want to congratulate the team for their work - please drop us a line. === Known Issues === Here is a list of current Issues in the F14 Soas builds I have found so far: - Gnome keyring pops up at first start: http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2339 ---> At least a new behavior, if not fixable it should be documented what to do. - Physics crashes: http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2363 ---> We had a similar issue in Sugar, the same fix can be applied here. - Calculate does not start: http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2245 ---> Version 34 fixes it, has to be packaged - Terminal: Can not scroll when using less: "Warning Terminal is not fully functional". On the XO builds I could not edit files with Vi neither which works here ok. There was a new version of VTE in updates-testing (0.26.0-1) but that one did not fix that issue. http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2394 ---> Maybe someone could test the gnome-terminal if that functions. - Activity icon not disappearing from the neighborhood view http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2389 ---> Tomeu has a fix in Gabble and is verifying now if that happens on Salut as well. - Sharing button not updated when resuming a previously-shared activity http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2390 ---> Tomeu is on that one as well. What started as a five minutes project turned out to take me a few minutes more :) - I hope you enjoyed the reading and we will see positive Karma points spreading all around.
