[Server-devel] [ANNOUNCE] XSCE 0.2.1 - Phoebe

[tkkang at nurturingasia.com]

Awesome!! Installation went smoothly. Looking forward to 13.1.0 version and other addons... etc for testing! My $US5 USB-Adaptor working well on it. Love to try two adaptors - on for LAN and one for WAN!

Cheers

>It gives me pleasure to announce the 0.2.1 release
>(Phoebe-http://www.flickr.com/photos/tiayiti/8477848448 ;-) ) of the
>School Server Community Edition project. Since the 0.1 release nearly a
>month ago, a significant amount of core XS functionality has been included.
>
>With this release, we have a largely functional schoolserver, with all
>the core services up and running. We have tested this on the XO-1.75 and

>testers, folks wanting to run pilots).

>The code for this server resides at

>==Test==
>We encourage users to break the server, find weird use cases and create

>Here are some basic testing notes to get started with
>
>http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Holt/XS_Community_Edition/0.2/Test_Plan
>
>==Known issues/quirks==
>* SELinux and XSCE don't mix well so far. If SELinux isn't disabled
>already, please do so before/after install.
>* The machine needs to be rebooted after installing the server for
>everything to work smoothly.
>* On xo the hostname is automatically changed to schoolserver.local.  On
>non-xo it is whatever the user set it to, so if you want
>schoolserver.local you must edit /etc/sysconfig/network and issue the
>hostname command.
>
>==Looking forward - 0.3==
>* Targeted release date - 5/12
>* Server GUI (Administrator, Teacher)
>* Content services
>* Code Modularization
>* Faster releases, wider testing
>* Support for FC18, 13.1.0
>* Support for wider hardware XO1-4, Rpi
>* Load testing
