Dextrose/3/Feature Freeze

This page is a listing of dextrose-3 related features and bugs identified on a priority basis. This page is NOT meant for regular tracking of their completion. The olpc.au and sl.o bug-trackers should be used for that.

Development goals

High priority

• Stability (looking towards current and future releases)
  • Yum based updater 1 2
  • Offline updates method 1

• No regressions w.r.t earlier dx-2 or olpc.au releases
  • TODO Identify bug-id's here

• Solid collaboration experience : This seems to be the most high-priority set of tasks, which are blockers in real terms. Need to fix the most critical ones
  • Regressions in collaboration 1
  • Send to not reliable
  • Data lost if collaboration is terminated and re-established
  • Aggressive power management hindering XO collaboration
  • OLPC tickets
    • 10674

    • 11074
    • 11073
    • 11075

• QA, (& maybe validation?)
• Stable and efficient dextrose development environment
  • Discussed this with silbe. Maybe have a custom jhbuild env privately, and a public one once 0.94 is released, otw. rebasing might be a problem. Another way out which was suggested was to have multiple branches with rebase of dx patches on top.

  • Configure network proxies in Sugar
  • Sugar GUI to configure hidden SSIDs
  • Set NTP server from Sugar
