olpc-update still said `sudo olpc-update 10.1.2_xo1-851` , I assume
that's a typo and changed it and the .usb links to 852.
Despite having only 69 MB free space on my XO-1, I did the olpc-update
from os851. I got some errors (I'll attach output in another e-mail)
but the irsync_dirty update succeeded. I now have *more* free space
than I did before, perhaps the magic of /versions freed up space
because os851 and os852 are closer than 802 and os850.
== Activity groups ==
I notice there's a new activity group,
url=http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/G1G1Lite
I think this was in os851 as well, but I'm pretty sure that either
olpc-update to os851 or the Software update control panel gave me
all-new activities such as Finance, Physics, Stopwatch... one reason I
have so little space!
==> Has anyone else upgrading an XO-1 gotten these extra activities?
If so this seems significant because it really cuts down space.
I documented the relationship between G1G1Lite and the other
Activities/G1G1 pages on the wiki, I think I got it right.
== Release notes ==
The release notes need to mention big-picture changes like Fedora 9
to Fedora 11, Sugar 0.82.1 to 0.84.16, new firmware, etc.
It would be nice if the release notes described the changes since
8.2.1 instead of referring to 10.1.0 and 10.1.1 and intermediate
builds.
The release notes don't tell you to reboot after olpc-update , though
that's the last thing olpc-update prints. And
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Reboot is inaccurate now that the Restart
command is gone from the center XO menu in Favorites mode of the Home
view.
I'll add more release note details in the Talk page as requested.
* Disable XO-1 idle-suspend for release due to blockers #10232 and
#10233
Oh well. It felt weird to have that sluggish response after the
screen dimmed (if this is what caused it), but I was getting used to
it.
Thanks and congratulations!

I think this happened because I had a ~olpc/Activities/.groups that
contained http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/G1G1 , and I think this
means Software update uses
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/G1G1/10.1 or possibly .../10.1.2,
a big list of activities intended for XO-1.5. (The process is
explained at <http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Software_update#Activity_groups>.)
I've written up a workaround for this problem with XO-1 updates,
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Talk:Release_notes/10.1.2 , if anyone else
is testing updating XO-1s from 8.2.0 , please reply or comment if
you're having this problem or not. It seems important enough for the
release notes.
There are two things that make this problem worse.
1.
The name in http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/G1G1/10.1 is "G1G1
Activities for OLPC OS 10.1", and this appears in Software update >
Modify activity groups. It could be usefully changed to "Larger set
of G1G1 Activities for OLPC OS 10.1".
2.
Both Software update and `sugar-control-panel -g available_updates`
misrepresent the URL they're using. They both print "Fetching
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/G1G1..." even though that usually
*isn't* the web page they retrieve and use! I filed
http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/10321 , the fix is in Sugar (cpsection
and/or bitfrost) but a partial workaround is to label each subpage of
Activities/G1G1/ in greater detail using the activities microformat.
Details in the bug report.

What is the population of laptops that might be updated from 8.2.1 to
10.1.2 instead of freshly installed? If the population is sufficiently
high, then I'd prefer to remove the update as an option, and instead
concentrate on instructions for backup, install, and restore.
The backup option would describe how to drag items from the journal to a
USB stick, one by one. That's all we currently offer for non-technical
users.

I've usually avoided changing that until I've tested it, as part of my
role as system test coordinator. Occasionally others think it should be
changed sooner, but I think that is quite brave. At the time the
release announcement goes out, olpc-update is untested. Chris doesn't
delay the release waiting for that test.

Writers welcome. I don't see us getting time to describe all these.
And we won't block the release for it.
I'll add more release note details in the Talk page as requested.
Thanks.

Ah, sorry, feel free to revert.
It seems odd to tell people to update to an unexplained earlier build
number. Maybe change all the numbers but next to each say "This
update method has not yet been tested with the most recent [/final]
build.", then over time remove the caveats.

On my XO-1 after olpc-update --usb to os851 and then network
olpc-update to os852, I notice almost all my system files are dated
2007-11-02 according to `ls -l`. Things like
* /usr/bin/*
* /etc/olpc-release
* /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31xol-blah (but not the /boot/vmlinuz symlink)
* /versions/sticky, many files in /versions/pristine/EITHER_UID/* , etc.
Symlinks and directories have today's date, and stuff in ~olpc and
/var dates from 2010 as you'd expect.
Seeing 2007 everywhere is disconcerting. Does anyone else see this,
could it be some issue with olpc-update or rsync? My network
olpc-update failed in its pristine attempt and retried the dirty
version, I don't know if that's significant. `date` has right time
and timezone, `ls -l --time=ctime` or --time=use gives the expected
2010 dates.
Weird.

Hi,
On my XO-1 after olpc-update --usb to os851 and then network
olpc-update to os852, I notice almost all my system files are
dated 2007-11-02 according to `ls -l`.
This is intentional, to speed up future olpc-updates. Don't worry
about it.
I suppose we could bump it¹ up to a newer date for major releases,
since apparently people start noticing that it's not moving after
around three years have passed. :)
