[Etoys] remaining tasks in this week
by Yoshiki Ohshima 17 Oct '06

17 Oct '06

Hello, (this email is basically for the team, but I would like to get some feedback...) I talked with Alan and lined out the tasks on our remaining time frame in this week. * The shooting star SVG icon. If the possible new artwork comes in, we might change, but it is good enough. * Pointing device button usage. Generally it would be good to follow the OLPC convension, but they don't have it, and Alan heard they said "they like our convention". I go for the idea of left-click as left-click, and right-click for halo. And leave mouse over halo option *on* for now. subtasks: - take "-swapbtn" option out from etoys.in. - code and preference in the image is ok. What PowerPoint does is if you left-click on an object, it gets halo-like thing. If OLPC goes that way in the future, we probably go that way as well. * Opening. Alan will run another path probably tomorrow, and Takashi cleans it up. It will have a book that is cycling through pages, but buttons on the right. The buttons take you to other projects, and the book will be cleared from Squeak image. (I have to check the code in #1070 actually work.) The project with the book is in the image, but the projects loaded by these buttons may reside on the disk. - I wait for Scott's check on deleteAllHalos-yo.1.cs and push it (or modified version of it) to the stream to make EventRecorder in a book not raise an error. - Alan make the projects. We may re-link and relocate projects. * Packaging. - (take -swapbtn out) - These project read from disk should go in the folder Smalltalk imagePath. - update .image file. * Testing, testing, testing... I would shoot to do these by Friday, as some of the team will be flying on the weekend. What do you think? -- Yoshiki

[Etoys] Git problem
by Bert Freudenberg 16 Oct '06

16 Oct '06

Hi, we discovered a serious problem with git, the source code versioning system that is used for OLPC work: I have been using it like I used to with subversion, that is, check in an updated etoys.image.gz every day: http://dev.laptop.org/git.do?p=projects/etoys Now Marco, who is on an ISDN connection, tried to check that out, and it downloaded like 30 MB. Turns out checking out from a git repository does download the *whole* history since the dawn of time. Eek. I hear git does use delta-compression for binary files, but I looks like that does not work for an image: 52 .git git add OLPCPlugin.image 5764 .git git commit 5776 .git run image, save, commit 11492 .git run image, save, commit 17208 .git The increase for each image check-in is about the gzipped size of the whole image. So. We might have to put the images somewhere else. Or only store the original image plus changesets in a folder, and have the makefile update the image from those changesets. A similar problem will arise once we store projects in git. Any ideas? - Bert -

[Etoys] Latest Scamper fixes

> > Hi Yoshiki and Karl, > > Actually, while the Scamper in the Etoys image will get Google and > allow some retrievals, the layouts are not high enough quality for any demo... > > What can the latest version of Scamper do? > > Cheers, > > Alan The latest version just keeps what's in Scamper in a working state. I agree that Scamper is not much for anything, but it can be useful at least to keep it working as long as it's in the image. There have been some discussion about getting Scamper or a new browser with more features but nothing has been done yet. Karl

[Etoys] Latest Scamper fixes
by karl 15 Oct '06

15 Oct '06

I'm not sure what the fixes to HTTPSocket were supposed to fix. I know they broke some things. About scamper: I noticed Scamper was in the image and that it was not updated to the latest version. The latest version does not have any enhancements, but fixes to stuff already in the browser. These are the latest changes to the Network-HTML package (From package description): FileUrl>toText returns String Subject: [BUG]FileUrl>toText returns String Author: Tim Rowledge Date Posted: 2 December 2003 Archive ID: 14482 Comments: Err, generally a method named #toText would a) be named asText b) return a Text rather than a String. Change Set: Network-HTML1-enhancements-rkris Date: 22 July 2004 Author: Ram Krishnan Enhancements/fixes to various aspects of Network-HTML: - DownloadingImageMorph:- take into account sizing hints specified in tags using a SketchMorph - deal with failed downloads better - HtmlEntity handles conversion of numeric ampersand entities that specify a radix, e.g., HtmlEntity valueOfHtmlEntity: '#x20;' => Character space - HtmlTokenizer deals withtype tags somewhat properly

Here is the latest version of the web browser Scamper with a few fixes. Also the latest version of Network-HTML. And a old version of HTTPSocket class>>httpGetDocument:args:accept:request: that fixes issues with getting to certain domains like for example: 'http://www.linuxfr.org' ( works on Windows XP at least) I'm not sure whats wrong with the current HTTPSocket but reverting to this old version fixes the issue.

[Etoys] Squeak / Etoys RPMs
by Bert Freudenberg 15 Oct '06

15 Oct '06

Hi folks, I built RPMs for the Squeak virtual machine and the Etoys Sugar activity. Since the etoys.laptop.org address is not operational yet, I uploaded them here: http://tinlizzie.org/olpc/sugar/rpm/ I verified they work on the A-test board with build 91. However, in that build there is a rather old version of Sugar (well, old on our time scale) so the Etoys icon does not show up correctly. What can we do to get a more recent version into build 92? What is the procedure that determines what packages at which version go into a build? MarcoPG: the etoys rpm spec file is right in the etoys git repository. Cheers! - Bert -

[Etoys] Document markup
by Bert Freudenberg 14 Oct '06

14 Oct '06

The OLPC document format ("Crossmark") is being spec'ed out. See http://dev.laptop.org/git.do?p=users/krstic/docformat We need to start thinking about what that means for etoys (after B- test, that is). - Bert - Anfang der weitergeleiteten E-Mail: > Am 14.10.2006 um 13:29 schrieb Ivan Krstić: > >> Bert Freudenberg wrote: >>> Walter Bender <walter(a)media.mit.edu> >>>> >>>> 7.
