[SoaS] Testing Sugar Activities of Fedora-Live-SoaS-i686-21-TC4

[Jean THIERY]

To whom it may concern,

Hello,

Today I ran tests on the new version of SoaS live :
Fedora-Live-SoaS-i686-21-TC4.iso (2014-11-24).
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/21_TC4/Live/i386/

Thank you for improvements compared to
Fedora-Live-SoaS-i686-21-TC3 (2014-11-22).
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/21_TC3/Live/i386/


5 activities are proposed for download
   and should be installed :

- Help-18 (replacing) Help-17.2 seems to work normally

- Physics-23 (replacing Physics-22) works OK.

- Pippy-62 (replacing Pippy-61) works much better
   (but I found new problems : see a future message).

- Portfolio-45 (replacing Portfolio-44).

- TurtleBlocks-209 (replacing TurtleBlocks-207)
   seems to work (except for one example to be checked).


3 activities present in « /usr/share/sugar/activities »
   were not displayed and not proposed for download,
   at least with the French parameters
   (Gonzalo has announced a patch).
   Preliminary tests were run with the standard downloaded
   versions (see below for more information) :

- Jukebox-26  (replacing Jukebox-32 in TC4)

- Memory-45 (replacing Memory-48 in TC4)

- Read-92 (replacing Read-113 in TC4)


3 activities are still discussed on the [SoaS] mailing list

- EToys-116

- Speak-48

- Write-95


Soon on Internet,

======= Detailed comments =====================================

Tests were performed on a USB key prepared with
« Fedora-Live-SoaS-i686-21-TC4.iso » (2014-11-24)
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/21_TC4/Live/i386/

Tests were performed after setting the language into French
(like previous tests on Beta-4 and TC3).
The corresponding English versions could behave differently !

Systematic tests were not performed,
only simple tests were launched.


================================================================
General comments
================================================================

the Safety Wifi Code « Clé de chiffrement » is not stored.
It has to be retyped for each new Wifi connexion.
