Hi List, I'm sure the sudden, poorly communicated, policy change regarding what is and isn't a default installed activity anymore (in build 696 and up) has given many developers/testers a very unpleasant surprise. What is the official method to re-installing these activities if we want to continue to test and work with the newer builds right now?
And before any one say, "use browse, visit the activity page and click the .xo bundles you want", that's not an option for the majority of activities that just got dropped, as their developers probably didn't realise they were about to fall out the loop, there are no browser installable .xo files for most. The XO get, gui just hangs, so no luck there, and xoget command line only seems to work from the Terminal activity (which was dropped) as the hidden command prompt doesn't have the right environment (DBus complains about accessing X for some reason). Only other thing seems to check out the source on another machine using GIT, building your own .xo bundles, and hosting them somewhere browse can get to... Or are we all meant to start building our own auto package installer custom USB sticks? Hopefully I'm just missing something really obvious here. Thanks for any pointers, Gary _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
