How? I have an XO-1 with developer key. Back in January Gary C Martin wrote in "Re: [ANNOUNCE] Sucrose 0.83.4 Development Release" , > FWIW: I've been reasonably successfully running joyride 2631 on an XO > for a few days now, and it seems to have all the 0.83.4 Sugar > feature freeze changes in. but the latest joyride (build 2654 dated 2009-02-14 -- Valentine's day :-) ) hasn't got these newer Sugar packages, see http://dev.laptop.org/~bert/joyride-pkgs.html Maybe that's to be expected since Daniel Drake wrote in "Re: joyride, staging builds, sugar releases": > [Joyrides =>] Obsolete, but not really obsoleted by anything usable *yet*. Should I just bunzip/untar the newer sugar packages on my XO? I couldn't find any guide to doing this on sugarlabs.org (surely there must be one!?), and are there permission-security-/versions/pristine issues unique to the XO in doing this? And are the sugar packages compatible with joyride or with the 8.2.1 candidate-800 build, or both? NN said in the *very* interesting http://blog.laptop.org/2009/02/05/q-a-from-xo-camp/ : > OLPC will move to a Linux desktop that will run Sugar as an application So should I ignore OLPC's OS images and instead try one of the XO Linux distributions that includes Sugar? I looked around and couldn't figure out whether Fedora rawhide still has problems on XO, whether DebXO has Sucrose 0.84, etc. Marco Pesenti Gritti announced "Fwd: Another Soas image for the XO", but the latest image at http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/xoimages/ predates this Sucrose release.

But there's a mismatch between sugarlabs' "only two more weeks to go in this release cycle. Please test" and OLPC's "6-12 months away". Thanks for any suggestions. (Normally this is where I pledge to update wiki.laptop.org with whatever people say, but if joyride is obsolete and 9.1.0 is dead, then a lot of pages on the wiki are misleading and I'm not sure where to start.) -- =S Page P.S. belated Valentine's day: XO-1 <3 XOXO @}-`-,-- _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
