Description

We should come up with a "USB upgrade" mechanism using the new update infrastructure.

Change History

Ideas: economize USB bandwidth using the manifest? Read through manifests to get a list of interesting files, then snarf only those files from the USB key?

Desiderata: efficient operation on FAT filesystem (even if this means encapsulating another filesystem loopback).

See also #3880, which is another alternative to 'upgrade via USB'.

With our current plan of record; where USB secure update is our primary plan for first upgrades in the deployment chain or by the individual, this has become a blocker for XM release.

  • milestone changed from Update.2 to Update.1

The new olpc-update should be able to use usb as an update source without a problem, which is the preferred mechanism. Trac #3880 is not currently on the roadmap. See also trac #5307.

olpc-update 2.0, in joyride, provides a --usb option to do this. osXYZ.usb and osXYZ.toc should be on the USB key.

This is olpcupdate-2.0, and olpccontents-1.9. There is a pilgrim patch as well; after approval assign to Dennis for the packages, and then reassign to me for the pilgrim portion and testing.
