FYI - just an observation - NOT a request for help

I can't use the activity-updater in the Control Panel GUI, because 
my outside-connection requires some environmental variables to be 
setup before it will work.  Following a suggestion in the list, I've 
been trying the CLI 'sugar-control-panel -g activity_update' from 
Terminal (with those variables exported beforehand).

The activity updater seems to take lots of time when accessing large 
Activities (e.g., the Firefox.xo file in the repository).  It also 
produces LOTS of 'WARNING:' messages about the Activity bundles I 
*have* installed -- should that be the job of an "updater" ?).


Inevitably, the activity updater reaches an error: 
"sugar-control-panel: (110, 'Connection timed out')"
