Hi, Dave<br>
<br>
It is absurd for reasons I have specified the first time James made
this statement. The two scripts are in /usr/bin. They are invoked by
the installed Sugar image. The scripts are enabled by
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/jarabe/The status is specified in
/home/olpc/.sugar/defaults. I have in front of me an XO-1 with Build
85 (Sugar 0.82.1). If has the two scripts in /usr/bin.<br>
<br>
This version used a file config in /home/olpc/.sugar/default
(pre-dating gconf, let alone gsetting). This file contains:<br>
<br>
[Server]<br>
backup1 = <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:SHC84201B0A@schoolserver.linuxtag:backup">SHC84201B0A@schoolserver.linuxtag:backup</a> .<br>
<br>
The real problem is not the absurdity of claiming that ds_backup is
not part of Sugar but that the statement attempts to close community
discussion. I grant it may not be a capability important to James,
but it is to me. I have great respect for James Cameron's technical
capabilities. I can also understand if he does not feel that this
feature scratches his itch (or serves the needs of his employer).
However, this does not entitle him to impose his judgment on the
community.<br>

<div>Perhaps, but as a fellow newbie, it is not obvious to
me why this position is absurd. Since it seems important
for people to understand, perhaps you could explain it on
the wiki or developer documentation somewhere? :) </div>

Since I was very marginally involved in the OLPC community in
2007 I do remember this, and I see the <a
