olpc-os-builder repository help

[Esteban Bordon]

The repo config that start with "olpc_public_rpms_" is downloaded from
http://xs-dev.laptop.org/~dsd/repos. This configuration is hardcoded in
modules/repos/ksmain.50.repos.py
If you want to change it, you should change the line that contains
        url = "http://xs-dev.laptop.org/~dsd/repos/%s" % name
for
        url = "http://localhost/<my_local_repo>/%s" % name


Cheers,
Esteban.
