Testing summary: Packages in Factory as of 23/8/2013

[Sebastian Silva]

Hi Alsroot,
Here's our testing report for packages in Factory repository.

The Issue we had with statistics gathering interfering with ad-hoc collaboration looks to be solved.

However,

== Activities fail to start (from Sugar Network) ==

They leave a traceback like this:
http://network-testing.sugarlabs.org/hub/?activities&org.laptop.Log&reports&3f8fbd020b9a11e3a1f2525400e4dcb5

== Submit report freezes sugar for very long ==

Would be better to fork/thread for this I think.

== Building with olpc-os-builder results in error ==

Relevant line looks to be:
    ERROR:root:Error creating Live CD : Failed to find package 'PackageKit-presolve'

Let me know when we should test again,

Regards,
Sebastian

I'm planing to complete main code polishing work these weekends and
upload results to the Factory.

I've already polished this part of the Deployment Platform.
Look for recent https://git.sugarlabs.org/platform/reference-xo commits,
there are the following changes in making SN based XO images:

* to make images, there is no requirement to have SN/sugar installed in
the host system, only OOB from one of SD repos (here from Factory);

* sweets.repositories OOB configure option sets all final repos (in OBS
notation) that should be used to install packages while building XO
image and to handle installs/updates afterwards;

* XO installed system was switched to PackageKit-presolve instead of the
yum; so, use `pkcon update` and `pkcon install` to update and install
packages (but only http://node-testing.sugarlabs.org/packages/
packages are being supported) on XO.

* look for [stabilities] option in /etc/sweets.conf in reference-xo
repo, this is a way how to make it possible to launch/image non-stable
activities.
