Yes, everyone can throw stuff into testing, but please, let's keep  
testing a working
build.  If this becomes a problem, an "unstable" or "working"  
repository can be created.

The latest one in stable/updates is the one that the libertas drivers  
currently in the stable/olpc/7/xs-config package
are compiled against.   I worked on getting the OLPC kernel compiled  
w. the latest libertas for a while
a couple of weeks ago.   I can produce a kernel package, configured  
for the XO.  Getting one for any
x86 made by Intel, AMD or Via (as Fedora seems to do easily) is more  
of a problem.

Anybody know how Fedora manages this for the stock kernel ?
