Excerpts from Simon Schampijer's message of 2011-10-17 11:07:13 +0200:
- powerpc is not a popular Sugar platform to make an enormous effort for
supporting it
I wouldn't consider anything we discussed an "enormous effort". With
that attitude PowerPC would never be a viable platform. Catch-22.
I knew people would jump on that. The original patch would not have had
any impact on Sugar running on powerpc, just that the version displayed
in the CP would not have a meaning. I could have lived with that. Still,
I am waiting for reports of people running Sugar on powerpc...And I
don't think *this* is a blocker for them.
- displaying all of the string on both cases (OLPC/powerpc) will likely
confuse people used to the old humanized string that is displayed at current
- the string does always start with "CL": CL1 for XO-1, CL1B for XO-1.5,
CL2 for XO-1.75, to differentiate we can do the following:
if: string.startswith('CL') string[6:13]
else: display all of the string
Sounds good enough to me. We don't even need the length check as
foo[6:13] will simply give an empty string if foo is too short. Might be
good to add a comment to that effect, though.
I will send a new full patch.
Regards,
Simon
