All,<br><br>Ignoring for the moment whether parachutes or Mars-style airbags are a better delivery option from helicopters, if one is going to "airdrop" an XO tablet into a remote area, one of the things that might be very useful would be the ability to bootstrap localization right on the machine.<br>

Chris, it seems the issue is fc14 not having aedion which
prevent translate-toolkit from installing. Where are those
RPMs from? Are you getting them from my repo or did you
build them yourself. I've thought in the past of making
subtitle support a different package.<br>
<br>
The mesa stuff is not related to Virtaal, I think its an
existing error in your RPM DB.<br>
<br>
<br>
The package list used for the OLPC 883 ARM-supporting build
(XO-1.75) is here:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://download.laptop.org/xo-1.75/os/official/883/os883.packages.txt" target="_blank">http://download.laptop.org/xo-1.75/os/official/883/os883.packages.txt</a><br>
<br>
OLPC tends to pull from Fedora RPMs as our OS is in essence a
specialized Fedora spin<br>

OK so let me ramble a bit....<br>
<br>
In the install: virtaal pulls in translate-toolkit which pulls in
aeidon<br>
aeidon is part of gaupol (gaupol is a subtitle editor aeidon
implements the subtitle formats)<br>
<br>
The gaupol aeidon split happened during Fedora 14. So in our
translate-toolkit RPM we only import aeidon when Fedora >= 14. <br>
<br>
See '
%if 0%{?fedora} >= 14' at the top of:
<a href="http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=translate-toolkit.git;a=blob;f=translate-toolkit.spec;h=6172c89bdaeceaf684c61a3750dca120ab72aa9e;hb=1e65541302d3c3bd217e4bd7b126d32be5b9c189" target="_blank">http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=translate-toolkit.git;a=blob;f=translate-toolkit.spec;h=6172c89bdaeceaf684c61a3750dca120ab72aa9e;hb=1e65541302d3c3bd217e4bd7b126d32be5b9c189</a><br>
<br>
So from the looks of it OLPC pulls in packages from olpc-14 but also
from fedora (but I assume that is base not updates).<br>
<br>
So my guess is this. Our fc14 translate-toolkit relies of the fact
that aeidon is available in updates for F14. But OLPC doesn't have
those updates either because it branched earlier or because it only
uses the base repo (not updates repo)<br>
<br>
I'm also not sure why OLPC has not included the updates, maybe
stability.<br>
<br>
I'm wondering if there is a way to handle this in Fedora packages. I
already make package decisions depending on the Fedora version. I
can make the OLPC package even leaner if I know how to identify an
OLPC branch. If you can help with that then I can probably build a
new OLPC specific package.<br>

<div class="gmail_quote">
<div><br>
As for the issue with mesa I have a pretty good idea that it
is not so much an "error" with the pre-existing RPM as the
fact that I think OLPC has hacked a local copy down to size to
save some space on the XO. Choices like that get made because
of the extremely limited storage of the XO laptop. Let's call
it a "misfeature" of a compromise that was made for the right
reasons. with unintended consequences.<br>
