12.1.0 devel build 1 released, for XO-1.5 and XO-1

[Peter Robinson]

The "Throw away your televisions" release.

This is the first build on our way to what will ultimately become the
12.1.0 release. Its based on rawhide and the testing I did on my
XO-1.5 provides all basic working functionality including Sugar,
GNOME, networking, camera etc. gnome-shell with associated bits to
test running it using SW rendering isn't included in this release but
I'll work to get this in place for the next build.

Some of the details of this release are:
- Fedora rawhide (it will become Fedora 17)
- Sugar 0.95.1
- initial patches for NetworkManager 0.9
- gnome 3.3.1
- kernel 3.x
- systemd plus olpc dependant services migrated thanks to dsd
- Surf included initially until we get a working Browse

Known issues:
- 3G modems currently don't work within Sugar
- Browse doesn't work
- Read doesn't work
- Help doesn't work

Disclaimer:  I'm not asking for help;  I'm sharing my observations.

os1 (on XO-1.5) does not recognize the second ("external") SD card -- 
I'll need to set up an USB stick with the resources that I normally 
access via my "permanent" (second) SD card.

I'm not suggesting a solution, but I observe that this effect is similar
to ticket #11353, which turned out to be kernel configuration.

My mistake - apologies.

Turned out it was the SD card that had given up the ghost (and was 
non-responsive).  When I inserted a different "external" SD card, it was 
correctly recognized by os1.

Sorry, mikus
