Please create a separate repository for the server rpms.   The  
laptops will
be updating themselves from the server, meaning that OLPC's repository
is mainly for development.   The server update strategy is different  
--- both in that
it will support incremental updates and those updates will be pulled  
from a
centralized repository.   Down the road, there will be a number of  
country
repositories.

DNS names are cheap, keep using xs-dev.  We will, however, have to move
xs-dev to a machine in the colo.
