ECO/8.2.1

  This page is monitored by the OLPC team.

This is a software release.

Summary

Title

8.2.1 OS, Release_notes/8.2.1

Description

The OS upgrade is to address critical bug fixes from release 8.2.0, mostly found in Uruguay. We also need to include fedora icon in all our releases going forward. We should consider including OFW with touchpad support in the final OS image (if it is ready).

Date proposed

2008-12-15

Priority

High. Uruguay wants to deploy in the beginning of January.

Champion

Kim/Reuben

Root Cause

A regression occurred that broke wireless activation. This feature doesn't have a test case and since we waited so long before we had a signed build to test, we did not find this regression. Other bug fixes in this release are to help Uruguay with their roll-out including their ability to manage their own final build (try to keep OLPC out of the sign-off).

Effect from the user perspective

Uruguay had a process that allowed all the laptops to get their activation keys wirelessly from the local school server on a regular basis. Release 8.2.0 broke that process.

Proposed Fix
