Hello,

we are not going to block on it. The plan is to continue to package
activities and hopefully to do it faster. And at the same time to make
.xo work better on SoaS (also I need to figure out how to best install
.xo from the livecd kickstart, it's pretty painful). Then I'm looking
forward for a good discussion at FUDcon about .xo and normal
distribution packaging.

That said, unfortunately, the hardest problems are in the system
differences between Fedora and the OLPC images (sugar-evince, csound,
olpcgames problems, tamtam performance hacks, xulrunner patches etc).
