[olpc-nz] What can we do this Saturday?

[Tabitha Roder]

Here are some options...

Test Sugar 0.90 - simon at schampijer.de via soas at lists.sugarlabs.org
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/0.90/Notes

> === Install latest Soas and install the 0.90 rpms ===
> - grab the latest build from
> http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/soas/ and put it
> on a stick
> - when you booted successfully open a terminal et root:
>    su
> - then you can install the latest packages with:
>    yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing [package-name]
>    example: yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing sugar
> - What should update you all the packages is the following command:
>    yum groupinstall --enablerepo=updates-testing sugar-desktop
> - then it is good to enable the sugar logs before restarting sugar, in a
> terminal edit .sugar/debug and un-comment the last line (use your editor
> of choice here)
> - you now need to restart sugar and start you testing
> - Tip-of-the-day: if you want to see the current version of an installed
> package you can use the following command in the terminal (no need to be
> root)
>    rpm -q [package-name]
>    example: rpm -q sugar

His previous email via Sugar-devel at lists.sugarlabs.org:

> Hi,
>
> I have been doing 0.90-F14 builds for the XO-1 and XO-1.5. You can grab
> the latest build from [1].
>
> I provide these builds that people that do have XO-hardware can start
> helping testing 0.90. So far, we did not have much testing yet. We just
> released 0.90.0 and want to do a bug fix release at the end of the month
> [2]. So testing and filing good bug reports is highly welcome.
>
> Please use these builds only for reporting back 0.90 issues. There are
> surely issues that are due to integration issues. Leave them for now.
>
> When you report bugs at [3] with these builds please set the Version to
> 0.90 and add the keyword olpc-0.90 to be able differentiate those bugs.
>
> A good first start would be to test the Features [4] that have landed in
> 0.90. Each page does contain a test case. As well the release notes at
> [5] might be of help. And of course, testing different languages and
> smoke tests of all different fashions are welcome.

and another:

> === Testing 0.90 ===
> So far we have not seen much testing of 0.90 yet, that is why the bug
> fix releases noted above are so important to us. We need as well your
> help to actually discover the bugs! There are basically three ways how
> you can test as of today (besides using sugar-jhbuild):
>
> * Install Fedora 14 on a machine and install the Sugar desktop
>
> * Test using Sugar on a stick: Get one of the nightly snapshots [4] and
> put it on a usb key. You can find instructions about it at [5]. It is
> good to subscribe to the Soas mailing list (low traffic) [6] for
> announcement and discussions in that case.
>
> * If you have an XO (XO-1 or XO-1.5) you can use an image from [7].
>
> If you are aware of any other distribution where Sugar 0.90 can be
> tested easily please comment.
