For past releases, see the [[release notes]] page. [[What release am I running?]] |
|||
== Next-generation releases will not come from OLPC == |
|||
From http://blog.laptop.org/2009/02/05/q-a-from-xo-camp/ , Nicholas Negroponte stated in a Q&A session: |
|||
:; In what way will OLPC support the community in this transition? Will OLPC keep improving and debugging the software of the already delivered XOs? |
|||
:: OLPC will move to a Linux desktop that will run Sugar as an application. Fedora 10, which shipped in November, is a major step in this direction. It’s a standard Fedora distribution that will boot on the XO-1 and includes Sugar as one of the desktop options. OLPC is working with the Fedora Project and Sugar Labs to provide a more tightly-integrated and better-performing version of this solution in the Fedora 11 release. |
|||
Many [[:Category:Linux distributions|Linux distributions already run on the XO-1 hardware]], and offer Sugar as a desktop option. |
|||
Coordinating the latest pieces of the software stack is ''complicated'' work: |
|||
* [[Distro version migration nastiness|XO changes to system software]] |
|||
* [[Enabling XO features on other distributions]] |
|||
* latest [[firmware]] |
|||
* latest Sugar from http://SugarLabs.org |
|||
So as of February 2009 there is no one release equivalent to [[joyride]] that has the latest of all these. The future is in development. |
|||
=== Future release work elsewhere === |
|||
* http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/rawhide-xo/ : Fedora rawhide software images for the XO-1 |
|||
* http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/xoimages/ : "Sugar on a Stick" images that run on the XO-1. |
|||
These are not ready for widespread adoption yet. |
|||
== XO releases == |
|||
Software which one runs on the XO laptop. |
|||
=== Naming scheme === |
|||
The first number in the release is its year. The second number represents the first or second major release in that year. The third number is incremented for each minor release. <br> |
|||
For example, "8.2.0" is the second major release in 2008, and "8.1.1" is an update to the first major release in 2008. |
|||
Releases in 2007 and earlier used other naming schemes. |
|||
=== Past releases === |
|||
See [[Release notes]] for past releases. |
|||
