We're looking into the feasibility of Fedora 20 with Sugar 0.102 now,
so please continue to be involved.  ;-)

Yes, I've reviewed the patches, we have some of them in master branch
already, and will take the new ones as needed, but I'm wondering if
_you_ would like to push any of them before I do so?  I've added you
to the xobuild group on crank, so you can rebase on master and push on
/git/projects/olpc-os-builder/

Thanks.  The OLPC RPM dropbox is available now on dev.laptop.org.
Should we use that or use yours in personal directory?  To use the
dropbox, place them in public_rpms/{f18,f20} (noarch) or
{f18,f20}-{xo1,xo1.5,xo1.75,xo4} (i686 and armv7hl).

Thanks.

For 13.2.0 and 13.2.1 we had been building for XO-1 with a smaller
activity set, G1G1Lite, and your Sugarlabs/0.102 set is same on all
laptop models, so somewhat larger.

The free disk space on your build may be even less than 13.2.1; 729MB
vs 723MB for the .img file.

You might solve this with a 0.102Lite, but that increases the activity
list maintenance load unless you use Wiki templates.

Thanks, I see them uploading.

I've also begun reproducing the build locally.

For your interest, hacked [2] kspost.60.nochroot.activities.py and scp
words-21 and turtleblocks-207 from sunjammer because
download.sugarlabs.org 302 redirects to an .au mirror which is out of
sync.
