Install all GCompris activities (> 100): ./xo-get install gcompris == Repositories == Newer versions of xo-get (>1.0) use a [http://xo-get.olpc.at/repository/ central repository] ([http://xo-get.olpc.at/repository/xoget.xml xml]), which is synced daily with the sub-'repositories'. Advantages of this structure are * 'xo-get update' will not break on changes in the repositories * supplying with filesizes and system-names (which sometimes differ from the wiki-names) * much less traffic on updates * backup repositories Repository Listing: # [[Activities]] # http://gcompris.net/incoming/xo/ It's possible to add / change repositories on request ([[Xo-get#Contributors|mail]]). Also, any ideas for further developments are welcome! == Bugs / Issues == Please file a ticket for any bug you find to the 'xo-get' component here: http://dev.laptop.org/newticket == Feature Request / Wishlist == * [[Xo-get/Wishlist|Add an item]] {{:Xo-get/Wishlist}} == Changelog == * 1.2.3: Switched to one [http://xo-get.olpc.at/repository/ central repository], lots of minor fixes == Contributors == '''Author''' * [[User:Crazy-chris|Chris Hager]] (chris at linuxuser dot at) '''Testering''' * [[User:Jaume|Jaume Nualart]] * [[User:ixo|ixo]] - testering as much as I can. Submitted bug reports. If you have ideas *and* some spare time: contact us!
