FoodForce2 Activity has malformed python files

[mikus]

Run 'file FoodForce2.activity/*.py' and look at the output.

There are files there that do not have proper line-endings for Linux Python. [Some have line-endings left by a Windows editor; some I can't figure out.]

---

I found this when the FoodForce2-1 Activity would not launch on an XO-1.5 system -- some of the python files (e.g. load_images.py) had been written-over by binary garbage (those files were correct before the launch of FoodForce2 was invoked), which in turn caused a Python error when it tried to execute (i.e., interpret) the now-garbage files.

[I was able to bypass the over-writing_with_binary_garbage problem by setting all the .py files in FoodForce2.activities to read-only.]

I do not know what caused this improper over-writing with binary garbage -- but cleaning up the form of the Python files should be the first step towards fixing the failure-to-launch problem I experienced on the XO-1.5

FoodForce2 not working for me on an XO-1.5 os32 envoronment appears to have been my own fault.

I normally run builds with the package 'python-psyco' installed. I removed that package from my XO-1.5 os32 system, and FoodForce2 now launched successfully.

My original description for #1514 was "activity has malformed python files". I still think that is true.

doing 'file FoodForce2.activity/*.py' shows no estrange things..

this is from a fresh install of ASLO.

This is the output from my 'file */py':

I'd be happier if they were all plain "python script text executable".

I did not install FoodForce2 through the Journal, but with 'sugar-install-bundle'.

Mikus,

Can you please check this with version 4 of FoodForce2. I have removed the issues with line endings in it.

Regards,
Mohit

In terms of me being able to launch version 4 of FoorDorce2 on the XO-1.5 - for me that works.
