How to test Sugar 0.100
We have different ways of testing Sugar 0.100:
- Using a testing image (available for all XO laptops models)
- Using a 13.2.0 image and installing rpms.
- Using sugar-build
Testing images
These images can be installed in an XO without security enabled.
XO-4: 33023xx4.zd (md5)
XO-1.75: 33023xx2.zd (md5)
XO-1.5: 33023xx1.zd (md5)
XO-1: 33023xx0.img 33023xx0.crc(md5)
The olpc-os-builder configuration used to create these images is here.
Installing Sugar 0.100 testing rpms
The first step is to install a 13.2.0 image, downloaded here.
The second step is to create a file /etc/yum.repos.d/au1b-updates.repo with the following contents:
[au1b-updates] name=au1b-udates baseurl=http://harvest.one-education.org/public/au1b-updates/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0
Later you need to run these commands:
rpm -e sugar-update-control yum update
If you want a fresh start, and do not care about LOOSING EVERYTHING YOU HAVE IN YOUR JOURNAL, you can execute this command:
rm -rf .sugar
And finally, restart your computer.
Using sugar-build
Detailed instructions to use sugar-build are here [1].
