joyride-2302 was built, but turned out to be identical to
joyride-2301.  This happens sometimes: koji will indicate that there
are new packages available, but they turn out to be packages which
aren't actually included in our build, and so the end result is
identical to the previous builds.  The build announcer script at
http://dev.laptop.org/~rwh/announcer/joyride-pkgs.html suppresses
these duplicate builds but the build announcer script at
http://dev.laptop.org/~bert/joyride-pkgs.html does not.  In any case,
they do exist and you can install them; it's just not very interesting
to do so.

I switched joyride to our own mirror as of 2311, and then koji came
back so I switched back, and then koji went down so I switched back to
our mirror....  koji seems to be back now.

I'm confident I've got everything mirrored, but since (presumably) the
reason for the koji outages is security-related, we'll certainly want
to grab package updates from koji when it comes back for good.

If today's koji "not-outage" persists today, I hope we can get our
backlog of packages tagged and in a build and maybe even make a new
stable candidate.
