[SoaS] Creating "18.1.0" olpc-os-builder branch based on F27

[James Cameron]

Interesting, thanks.

Yes, rpmdropbox.laptop.org RPMs have changes that aren't in Sugar Labs
git or Fedora 27; because of backport by OLPC to Fedora 18 on the XO.

You can check by unpacking the src.rpm files and comparing the
sources.

For each change, find out why it is there, and if you need it.

You can also check the laptop.org git repositories.

Somewhat off-topic for this wrong mailing list; sugar-devel@ is more
appropriate, as soas@ is for Sugar on a Stick, which is a Fedora
live-boot system for standard PCs, and you aren't doing that.
devel at lists.laptop.org is also appropriate, as it is OLPC XO specific.
Sugar Labs is hardware agnostic.
