Helping test Sugar 0.100

[Gonzalo Odiard]

To all the people interested in help to test the new features in Sugar
0.100,
I have prepared rpms to install over a 13.2.0 image on xo-1.5 (I didn't
tested on
xo-1, but should work). The rpms include some improvements developed to
include in Australia images too.

*Steps to install:*
*
*
1) Install 13.2.0, as explained here:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/13.2.0
2) Download http://dev.laptop.org/~gonzalo/testing-0.100-i386.zip
4) In the terminal
unzip testing-0.100-i386.zip
su
rpm -e sugar-update-control
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
rm -rf .sugar
reboot

the Activities Updater was improved too, now can update from

The pygobject/gobject-introspection rpms included, contain fixes and
performance improvements developed by Daniel Drake.

*And more!*

These patches have more fun, in development for Australia.

Hidden Access Points connection (based in the feature

*What is out?*

We can't test web activities in F18 yet. There are work ongoing, but is not
ready.

If someone need rpm sources, tell me, are not included in the zip to make
easier the installation.

Please report any issue you found in sugar-devel mailing list or fill a
ticket in bugs.sugarlabs.org.
