[Server-devel] XS-0.7 plans -- your thoughts please...

[David Leeming]

Great news, looking forwards to 0.7

I think three areas where we had some difficulties.

1. Perhaps making the default install easier to set eth0 up for static
config
2. Not sure if it is relevant to the build, but we would have enjoyed an
easy way to clone from a master, i.e. when setting up a customised XS for a
number of schools 
3. We had difficulties running the olpcxs update (yum --enablerepo .....) at
times, and although we couldn't always replicate the problem it seemed to be
related to clock/date/time skew 

I have never tried selecting the Gnome option, but a nice GUI would be
useful for users with limited grasp of command line stuff for file
management. Maybe that is available already

Some items that spring to mind:

1. activity-server support for dotted activities

2. can't register if your name includes a :

3. automatic olpc-update via OATS (code was posted, but we never
finished deciding exactly how to integrate it)
