Requesting technical approval for Sugar Spin

[Sebastian Dziallas]

Hi list,

I would like to request Spin SIG's approval for a sugar-based spin, so 
that it can be included in the spin-kickstart GIT repo. The kickstart 
file is located here:

    http://sdz.fedorapeople.org/kickstart/fedora-livecd-sugar.ks

I ran this on an updated f9 machine, against both the F10 beta and 
master versions of the kickstart. Each time I get this:

Now, to be fair, I get this on the base kickstart too. Are other folks 
seeing this?

Yes. Seems to be generic rawhide breakage.

I've uploaded a new version here:

    http://sdz.fedorapeople.org/kickstart/fedora-livecd-sugar.ks

It basically adds one activity, replaces gdm with slim (thanks to 
marcopg here!) and is synced to work now with the latest 
fedora-live-base.ks.

If you've any suggestions or feedback, please let me know!

Do we need to wait for formal approval then or what's is the next step? 
Pushing it to the repo?

Looks pretty reasonable to me, I see no objections in taking this in for 
F11, could I get another +1 from someone?

Sure but could you add a comment on why you are using slim in the 
kickstart file itself?

You are using generic-logos but not generic-release.

Also, you ks file seems derived from desktop ks so I would like to note 
that some more changes have been made in the original such as dropping 
GNOME games. You might want to look into rebasing it to match as much as 
  applicable.

Sure! ;)

Well, we're trying to lower the system requirements for this spin as 
much as possible, since we got several requests to make it boot on 
machines with 256 RAM.

GDM is known to pull in quite some Gnome-related dependencies, which we 
don't really need (since I tried to completely exclude Gnome). So we 
discussed the use of slim instead of gdm and thanks to Marco's work, 
we're for now including slim.

Sorry, I should have changed this, yeah. Done in the new version.

I've now synced it against the latest desktop ks from our 
spin-kickstarts pool and uploaded new version at the same place.

Thanks for all your feedback!

Any chance for getting another +1 here so that I can push it to the 
spin-kickstarts GIT repo?

Btw: I needed to disable SELinux in the latest version since bug #466884 
is giving us problems with SELinux and slim. Once this is fixed, it will 
definitely be enabled again.

I was able to build it fine. I could not get browse or yum to connect to 
the internet. I have an IP.. so it may be issues with my machine. Since 
I dont see this being controlled by the ks I would be +1.
