[sugar] new 8.2.0 beta joyride - upgrading via control panel ?

[Ixo X oxI]

John,

Thanks for the heads up..

Actually, I was just replying to an ongoing thread, and updated the subject
approipately. :)

I looked in TRAC and couldn't find anything related, so obviously I wasn't
searching deep enough.  I'll look again and see where I went astray.... ;-/

The XO that I have running Joyride already has an /home/olpc/Activities
directory owned by OLPC...  so I'll dig into the ticket and see if it has
any other suggestions...

Thanks again, :) -iXo
