Hi,

Sorry, I couldn't be online yesterday, so I didn't get this URL. Could
someone send it again ?
> Everyone with XOs: *please* burn and try to boot from USB using this image.

Will do tonight and / or this week end.

Oops, sent only to Greg instead of the whole list. Sorry for the
inconvenience... :-/

Meeting status tomorrow: unsure.
by Greg DeKoenigsberg
All right. We are *supposed* to have a meeting scheduled for tomorrow at
1300 Eastern US time, which is 1800 UTC. #fedora-olpc on freenode.
However, I'm a bit nervous about the prospect of wasting people's time.
Here's the thing, and it pains me to admit it: I'm not sure where we are,
exactly. I've had a good bit less official job time to devote to this
effort lately, and our current status is a bit of a mystery to me.
Here's what I think I know:
* We've got lots of packages queued up for acceptance into F-11, and
SMParrish has been reviewing new stuff like mad. Yay!
* Marco tracked down the weird boot issues with rawhide and the XO, and
those should now be fixed. Yay!
* People are tackling individual issues as they find them. Yay!
All of this is great. However:
* It's still unclear to me which packages in dist-olpc4 are building
because they have to build, and which have simply not been untagged;
* It's still unclear to me which necessary packages are still sitting in
joyride and have yet to be brought into rawhide;
* The process for keeping track of all of this is currently in poor shape,
which is, admittedly, my fault.
So I'd like to step back and ask a question.
Since the goal is to create a bootable build of F-11 on the XO -- how is
that process going? I know there have been discussions; where are we,
right now, with this process?
I'm wondering if it might not be the best idea, at this point, to go ahead
and start working backwards from rawhide, and see what's busted, and start
tracking that in bugzilla.
I welcome people's thoughts.

We can provide shell accounts on our buildslaves to anyone interested
in running nightly builds. We currently have 4 of them:
buildslave1.sugarlabs.org Fedora 10 x86_64
buildslave2.sugarlabs.org Fedora rawhide x86_64
buildslave3.sugarlabs.org OFFLINE
buildslave4.sugarlabs.org Ubuntu 8.10
Please, avoid using your shell accounts on sunjammer for heavy-duty
jobs such as daily rebuilds. If you must, at least run these things
with "nice -n 15 ionice -n 5 -c 3" to keep it from slowing down other
users too much.
Please also avoid using shell accounts on solarsail and trinity as
we're going to phase them out at some point.
