Hi,

At OLE Nepal we have difficulties with updating activities because our
main educational activity is so huge. Aayush Poudel implemented an
incremental activity update which I have now merged with the standard
software updater. When updating activities and content, the updater
now only downloads the files of the new activity that have changed,
greatly reducing time and bandwidth needed for updates.

Patches at
http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1499

We're also adding the patch I used in paraguay so that the updater
does not try to go online when the school server has an activity
available:

I hope this is useful for other deployments too!
Daniel
