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" defect closed Unspecified by Maintainer Unspecified ActivityTeam 0.84.x Unspecified fixed mikus@… OLPC Unconfirmed
