Steven M. Parrish's build method failing.
by David Farning
Hi,
I am starting the XO Operating System SIG by documenting the various
current efforts to build fedora base systems for the XO. This weekend
I documented and tested how to automate the build system for Steven
M. Parrish's work. The documentation is at
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Xoos/Resources .
Can anyone help me with the following error?

Re: booting soas71xo.4gremovable.img.tar.lzma
by Martin Dengler
Hi Dan,
Hope you don't mind me forwarding this to the fedora-olpc list,
because I think other people may be having the same problem.
I'll have a look at submitting a patch upstream or working around the
problem.

Know anything about smolt?
by Martin Dengler
Know anything about smolt? We could use some help / advice on how
best to use it.
My SoaS spins, like Sebastian's more recent ones, have smolt installed
and send a smolt report every time a network interface comes up with a
valid default route.
I spent a few minutes toying with the small NetworkManager dispatcher
script[1] that implements this and then forgot about it.
Anyone care to do better (wouldn't take much) script-wise /
approach-wise? Anyone know how these things work and can see if any
data have been collected (I'm sure a few XOs of mine have submitted
reports)?
Thanks,
Martin

Looks like I didn't get around to committing that "only try to send if
there's a default route" part yet.

sugar-toolkit dep & ACLs annoyance
by Michael Stone
Dear fedora-olpc,
I just wanted to mention to you that I enjoyed trying out your work this
evening in an F12 chroot. While testing, I encountered some bugs, one of which
I filed for you at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=526618
Pursuant to that issue, I also prepared the following patch, which I attempted
to apply to fedora-cvs on your behalf. Unfortunately, I was stymied due to lack
of appropriate ACLs, ending my involvement for the evening.
Regards,
Michael
P.S. - Incidentally, thanks to whoever is responsible for the nice scripts in
fedora-packager. They are a great improvement over what was available the last
time we worked together.
