NOTE: The content of this page is considered DEPRECATED and OBSOLETE It is preserved for historical research, along with its talk page. Moved and died at http://sugardextrose.org This is a summary of all Sugar patches in Dextrose as of 2010-09-27. Most of these patches have been submitted to sugar-devel@ or attached to tickets. Some have already found their way upstream, others still have quality issues. All of them have been integrated and tested in Dextrose to produce a better overall Sugar environment. Refer to the rpms directory in git for the actual patches. See also Dextrose/TODO/Patches. Upstreamed bug fixes sugar-datastore/sl2132-reduce-_FLUSH_TIMEOUT-to-5sec.patch sugar-datastore/sl2132-set-index_updated-flag-on-ds-shutting-down.patch sugar-datastore/sl2095-invert-datastore-clean-logic.patch These plug a serious journal data loss condition that was observed repeatedly in the field. sugar/sl2064-always-listen-for-NameOwnerChanged-DBus-message.patch It turns out that this patch does not really fix #2064, but it doesn't hurt either. sugar/fix-duplication-of-OLPC-mesh-icons.patch Three or more mesh icons were being added after every suspend/resume. sugar/journal-xobundle-removal-wont-remove-installed-one.patch Quite surprising behavior: removing a bundle from the journal would uninstall activity too. sugar/sl2062-catch-network-errors-when-trying-to-register-to-the-xs.patch sugar/sl1940-register-session-failed-fix.patch These two help make registration to schoolserver less painful. sugar/add-button-frame.patch Add frame and journal keybindings to F5/F6 (for XO1.5-HS) sugar/indicate-inactive-state-in-mesh-device-icon.patch Not sure how this interacts with the switch from mesh to ad-hoc, but we applied it long ago. sugar/restore-sugar-launch-by-bundle-id-substring-fixes-89.patch sugar/improve-activity-updater-icon.patch sugar/disconnect-icon-in-wifi-palette-1736.patch sugar-toolkit/use-set_toolbar_box-in-example-code.patch sugar-toolkit/set-default-accelerators-for-Copy-and-Paste-buttons.patch sugar-toolkit/sl1861-remove-unneeded-debug-logs.patch These are not really important, but safe and nice to have. sugar/sl1842-journal-show-error-on-write-failure.patch sugar-toolkit/sl1842-notify-red-alert.patch sugar-toolkit/add-ErrorAlert.patch The version that went upstream lacks the fancy red alert part. For the sake of staying closer to upstream, we could rebase Dextrose on this version. I don't particularly care. sugar-artwork/sugar-artwork-gtkdep.patch sugar-artwork/revert-to-GTK_WIDGET_IS_SENSITIVE.patch Small build fixes. Upstreamed new features sugar/sizelist-0000-cover-letter.patch sugar/sizelist-0001-Journal-Retrieve-filesize-from-the-datastore.patch sugar/sizelist-0002-Add-a-filesize-column-to-the-journal-list-model.patch sugar/sizelist-0003-Journaltoolbox-Add-add_separator-method-for-convenie.patch sugar/sizelist-0004-Add-a-ListViewButton-to-the-journal-search-toolbar.patch sugar/sizelist-0006-Display-the-sorting-property-in-the-last-column.patch sugar/sizelist-0005-Rename-the-date-column-to-sort_column.patch sugar/sizelist-0007-Expandedentry-Try-to-use-the-filesize-property.patch sugar/sizelist-0008-Implement-sorting-for-removable-devices.patch sugar/sizelist-0009-Add-sort-by-creation-time-option-to-the-ListViewButt.patch sugar/sizelist-0010-Add-ctime-property-to-the-journal-model.patch sugar-artwork/sizelist-0001-add-icons-for-the-sorting-options-in-the-Journal.patch sugar-datastore/sizelist-0002-Add-migration-code-from-DS-v0-for-the-filesize-prope.patch sugar-datastore/sizelist-0006-Implement-migration-from-DS-v0-for-ctime-property.patch sugar-datastore/sizelist-0000-cover-letter.patch sugar-datastore/sizelist-0005-Check-ctime-on-index-rebuild.patch sugar-datastore/sizelist-0004-Add-ctime-property-to-the-index-and-datastore.patch sugar-datastore/sizelist-0003-Check-filesize-property-on-index-rebuild.patch sugar-datastore/sizelist-0001-Add-filesize-property-to-the-index.patch sugar-datastore/sizelist-0007-Increment-CURRENT_LAYOUT_VERSION-to-trigger-an-index.patch Andres' series for sorting the journal by file size: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Journal_Sort THIS IS NOT A GEEK TOY! If the filesize is not exposed, users are unable to figure out how to free up space when the journal becomes full. sugar/sl1610-default-ad-hoc-networks.patch sugar-artwork/ad_hoc_artwork.patch http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Sugar_Adhoc_Networks sugar/bundle-Delete-profile-data-only-when-erased.patch sugar-toolkit/bundle-Delete-activities-profile-data-when-uninstall.patch This is sl#2074. Merged after a very long struggle. sugar/caacupe-Protected-activities-list.patch A variation of this went upstream. Formadores like this feature very much. Unreviewed bugfixes sugar/sl1673-fix-network-disconnect-and-discard-history-v2.patch An upstream maintainer wants this split in 4 patches and submitter is waiting for consensus, so this useful patch remains stuck in review. There's a newer patch attached to sl#1673, someone should check it out. sugar/fix-for-file-list-sorting-for-FAT32-formatted-flash-drives-in-journal.patch This one seems to have fallen through the cracks. Need to resubmit. sugar-toolkit/sl1876.patch Review stuck in sl#1876. sugar-toolkit/fix-two-trivial-shell-log-warnings.patch Reviewed on sugar-devel, should be merged. Someone should ping Quozl. sugar/avoid-popping-an-empty-list-in-the-software-updater.patch Works, but Quozl posted a better counter-patch. Merge that one. Unsubmitted bugfixes sugar/jasg-register-rename.patch sugar/prevent-multiple-XS-icons-when-re-register.patch After first registeration with the schoolserver, the "Register" menu item disappears. If the schoolserver gets replaced or the user changes school, there's no way to repeat the registrarion process. This patch provides a crude solution to this problem. sugar-artwork/journal-reindex-icon.patch sugar/journal-0002-reindex.patch sugar/journal-0003-reindex-translations.patch The journal index sometimes gets corrupted or out of sync with data. This can happen at the hardware, filesystem or datastore level and there's not much we can do about it. This patches provide a workaround for users. No, it's not a geek toy. sugar/reverse-sort-order-of-activities-list.patch Jorge or someone should post this to sugar-devel@. Rejected new features sugar/backup-translations.patch sugar/backup-0001-Volumes-Backup-and-Restore.patch sugar/backup-0002-Journal-XS-backup-and-restore.patch sugar/backup-0005-save-lease.patch sugar/journal-0001-Processdialog-prerequisite-check-support.patch sugar-artwork/gmartin-School-Server-Icon.patch This series implements easy backup and restore of the journal to removable media and schoolservers. It has been submitted for review, but upstream found it unacceptable for various reasons. Uruguay and Paraguay like this feature the way it is, so these patches remain off-tree. sugar/use-the-spanish-verb-quitar-for-unmounting-devices.patch Better-than-nothing patch, but the real fix would require a gettext kludge in the code (see http://bugs.python.org/issue2504 ) sugar/cpu-and-memory-resource-indicator.patch sugar-artwork/cpu-and-memory-indicator-icons.patch See sl#2141. This is seen as another geek's toy, but geeks could simply cat /proc/meminfo... users really need a simple way to see why the XO isn't performing well with too many open activities. sugar/dynamically-set-number-of-control-panel-columns.patch The approach to compute the column width is wrong, but it produces better results than the current fixed number of columns. So, for now, I'm keeping this better-than-nothing fix. Unreviewed new features sugar/restart-option.patch We're doing good progress in sl#1206. Unsubmitted new features sugar/accessibility_0001_cp_accessibility_keyboard.patch sugar/accessibility_0002_magnifier_extension.patch sugar/accessibility_0003_cp_accessibility_contrast.patch sugar/accessibility_0004_cp_accessibility_mouse.patch sugar/accessibility_0005_cp_accessibility_capital_letters.patch sugar/accessibility_0006_virtualkeyboard.patch sugar/accessibility_0007_cp_translations.patch sugar/accessibility_0008_cp_show-virtualkeyboard-for-accessibility.patch sugar/accessibility_0009_cp_show-virtualkeyboard-for-accessibility-traslate.patch sugar-artwork/accessibility_0001_contrast.patch sugar-artwork/accessibility_0002_virtualkeyboard_icon.patch sugar-toolkit/accessibility_0001_style-contrast.patch Accessibility features developed in Uruguay. These have not been submitted for review yet. http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/File:Dextrose_teclado_virtual.png sugar/microformat-updater.patch This is a backend for the new Sugar activity updater, implementing the olpc microformat protocol which is used by several deployments. sugar/gsm-errors-palette.patch Improves diagnostic messages for GSM dongles. sugar/sl2006-touchpad-device-on-frame.patch sugar-artwork/sl2006-icons-for-touchpad-panel.patch Walter's XO-1 touchpad control panel. It would be nice to add a global shortcut such as alt-shift-T. Unreviewed cleanups sugar/simplify-the-definition-of-UpdateModel._bundles_to_check..patch Should be merged. sugar-toolkit/remove-incomplete-MANIFEST-support.patch The incomplete design and implementation of MANIFEST files has been laying around for 3 years. We can choose to clean it up now, or let it bitrot for another 3 years. Posted some time ago to sugar-devel, nobody reviewed it. Experimental Patches sugar-toolkit/change-keep-string-to-keep-a-copy.patch sugar-toolkit/keep_a_copy_translation_missing.patch Several alternatives have been suggested on the list, but nobody implemented them, so this one still stands. sugar-toolkit/kill-the-delayed-menus-for-good.patch This change has been at the center of a huge design / UX / testing flame war a while ago. I've merged it to observe user reactions, so hopefully we can have a polite discussion based on some real data. sugar-toolkit/sugar-toolkit-dont-configure-fonts.patch sugar/sugar-enable-settings-manager.patch We had to temporarily exclude these because sugar-settings-manager does not play well with xulrunner in F11. sugar/add-font-dpi-schema.patch This is a companion patch of a fix sugar-settings-manager which has already landed in git. It's needed by xulrunner (Browse). sugar/set-default-scaling-to-100.patch This is only required on the XO. We should really autodetect this. Disabled and obsolete patches sugar-toolkit/sl1948-Race-condition-with-name-widget-in-the-activ.patch Erikos came up with a better fix in sl#1948. Should test it. sugar/sl1814-consolidate-activity-launch-entry-point.patch This also fixes sl#1719, which I've definitely seen happen in Dextrose. I don't know why this patch is disabled in our spec file, it should probably be retested. sugar/click-on-journal-icons-with-a-exclusive-time-frame.patch Requested by the Waveplace folks. This should be dropped once we get the proper fix for sl#1719 (see above). sugar/backup-0003-Journal-documents-volume-button.patch We no longer need this feature since we decided to disable Gnome, other deployments may find it useful. (but journal crashes when you drop files on the icon) sugar/pe558-modify-volumnestoolbar-to-mount-a-directory.patch This makes it possible to easily exchange documents with Gnome. Since we don't ship Gnome any more, we dropped this feature.h sugar/pe558-backup-restore-front-end-for-control-panel.patch sugar/pe558-add-option-to-mount-any-user-directory-to-journal.patch sugar/pe558-journal-management-control-panel-feature.patch This patch series has been replaced by Tincho's Journal-based backup/restore functionality. Keeping them around in case someone else prefers the control panel UI. sugar/fix-name-clash-set_state.patch This isn't strictly needed on 0.88, but it's confusing
