<div class="im">yes -- I've seen it. And I have an NXT at home, will be testing it</div>
soon. I may have a few patches for you...<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'll appreciate those patches. Do you want me to add you as a committer?</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<div class="im"> - nxt-python is packaged and maintained for Fedora 14, and we can</div>
backport the package. You don't need to include it, and the rpm<br>
contains the udev/rules file.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That's good, but I found some incompatibilities between the latest commit</div><div>of nxt-python and python 2.5.1, so I had to modify a few lines.</div>
<div>Anyways, latest Dextrose builds use python 2.6.1 and everything works</div><div>out of the box there.</div><div><br></div><div>Other thought about this point... wouldn't nxt-python package become a</div><div>dependency for TurtleArt if we don't include it in the activity?</div>
<div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> - I've just packaged nbc / nxc for Fedora, which is almost like C,<br>
and is a very nice way to program the robot. It even allows for<br>
concurrent programming.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Mmm... I'd like to get my hands on that code.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
- There's an overall push to get more robotics stuff into Fedora, so<br>
upstream is keen to help</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Great news! </div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> - And I'm happy to help on the NXT / TA patch (as a personal project,<br>
not OLPC sponsored).<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>He he... personal interests since xmas maybe?</div><div><br></div><div>cheers,</div><div>Emiliano</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
