Yes.  All completed work should be packaged and put in
public_rpms/staging for testing, with an appropriate changelog.
Staging builds are automatically generated (every three hours) if/when
new packages are added.

Most "fixed bugs" are not yet included in the staging builds.  I've
gone through most bugs in
  http://dev.laptop.org/report/38
and either packaged/added them to staging myself, or pinged the bug
owner to do so.  Once we get everything included and tested in a
staging build, we can make "release candidate quality" builds easily
from the contents of the staging repository.  That process mostly
involves testing strategy: do we want to wait until all the bugs are
fixed to make an RC build, or try to generate a series of RC builds
which fix only one thing at a time, or something else.  I'm lazy, I'd
prefer the first option.
