Re: Announcing Fedora 11 Beta for XO
by Peter Robinson
It is as far as I'm aware plain rawhide which means it will be sugar
0.84 with default Fedora power stuff using the new devicekit [1]. All
the hardware should work as expected and if it doesn't please report
it, either here or in the Fedora Bugzilla.
Cheers,
Peter

This build is pure Fedora, so there are many XO-specific things that do
not work, but the build is still quite generally usable, and contains
Sugar 0.84.
We're looking at making a variant of this build including the XO kernel,
which will go most of the way towards XO-specific hardware working.
(But this isn't a long-term solution; we need to get our kernel stuff
into the upstream kernel for that.)

rawhide builds
by Peter Robinson
Hey Chris,
What's the status of the rawhide builds? I haven't seen one for a
while. It would be good to get one based on F11Beta as it would
provide a good point for testing from.
Cheers,
