[SoaS] Update Karma points for Sugar 0.90 --- Current Summary

[Simon Schampijer]

Disclaimer:  I am asking for help. And I am sharing my experiences:

Hi,

Sugar 0.90 has been packaged thanks to Peter in no time. Currently the 
packages are in updates-testing. They need three Karma points to get 
into the stable branch and hence can be included in the nightly builds.

Only three points, I hear you say? Sounds easy enough. And actually here 
are the good news, it is easy enough!

You can do the following:


=== 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


=== Give the Karma points ===

After all the hard work of testing you will want to share your results.

Yes you need to have an account for that, but it is easy to do. The 
packages below needs updating - and as you see I have done my job as well :)

Of course you can as well ask questions here, if you are unsure if 
something is a bug or not or if you just want to congratulate the team 
for their work - please drop us a line.


=== Known Issues ===
Here is a list of current Issues in the F14 Soas builds I have found so far:

- Gnome keyring pops up at first start: 
http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2339
    ---> At least a new behavior, if not fixable it should be documented 
what to do.

- Physics crashes: http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2363
    ---> We had a similar issue in Sugar, the same fix can be applied here.

- Calculate does not start: http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2245
    ---> Version 34 fixes it, has to be packaged

- Terminal: Can not scroll when using less: "Warning Terminal is not 
fully functional". On the XO builds I could not edit files with Vi 
neither which works here ok. There was a new version of VTE in 
updates-testing (0.26.0-1) but that one did not fix that issue. 
http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2394
    ---> Maybe someone could test the gnome-terminal if that functions.

- Activity icon not disappearing from the neighborhood view 
http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2389
    ---> Tomeu has a fix in Gabble and is verifying now if that happens 
on Salut as well.

- Sharing button not updated when resuming a previously-shared activity 
http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2390
     ---> Tomeu is on that one as well.


What started as a five minutes project turned out to take me a few 
minutes more :) - I hope you enjoyed the reading and we will see 
positive Karma points spreading all around.

Cheers,
    Simon
