Comment:

 I just built olpc-utils-0.68-1 for joyride. This rpm contains Scott's sudo
 implementation taken directly from his olpcsudo package.

 Next, I pushed
 [http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=users/cscott/pilgrim;a=commit;h=e4f750d66497699e7811bc30464595388ab97daa]
 a commit to the joyride branch of pilgrim which will drop the olpcsudo
 package (since it is now superseded by olpc-utils).

 Finally, I uploaded a Terminal-9.xo & changelog to
 d.l.o/~mstone/public_rpms/joyride in which the 'become root' button will
 fork a new '/bin/su' rather than pasting 'become_root\n'.

 We'll find out tomorrow whether it all worked. All three pieces (olpc-
 utils, pilgrim commit, and Terminal-9.xo) will need to be reverted if
 anything went wrong.
