When I click latest release, I see no file named osXYZ.usb, I see one called osXYZ.img, osXYZ.toc, etc. but no .usb. What gives? |

Gosh, this page is meaty and full of great stuff. But if we are going to send users to it, it's needs to be way much simpler. Pictures are not out of the question. |

Alternatively, if there's another page to send users to for this, this we need to link it prominently in eg Support FAQ. (And the Stable_upgrade page is not even as clear as this page is). |
|||
On a related note, (why) do you need to specify the branch to get ship.2-653 ? This is counter tho the documentation on this page. |

Thanks, |

Feature Requests
A request from a non-programmer for olpc-update and olpc-update-rsync commands:
Provide a --list (-l?) option that shows all available builds (easier to remember)
Provide a --changelog (-c?) option that shows a builds changelog (olpc-update -c build-609)
Provide --help (-h) to explain its usage, and the above options

Done. You'll need very recent pyvserver and rainbow RPMs to try these out. Also, you'll need to convince cscott to put ChangeLogs in the rsync modules. (Or volunteer to do so yourself). -- Michael Stone 01:54, 5 October 2007 (EDT)

Simplification needed
Gosh, this page is meaty and full of great stuff. But if we are going to send users to it, it's needs to be way much simpler. Pictures are not out of the question. Alternatively, if there's another page to send users to for this, this we need to link it prominently in eg Support FAQ. (And the Stable_upgrade page is not even as clear as this page is).
On a related note, (why) do you need to specify the branch to get ship.2-653 ? This is counter tho the documentation on this page. Thanks, --Adricnet 02:23, 25 December 2007 (EST)
