[SoaS] Technical Release - Sugar 0.110

[Kalpa Welivitigoda]

Hi Peter,

Can we get this release for f25 as well? ATM I see that it's only for rawhide.

On a different note, I saw a number of bugzilla tickets created as a
number of sugar activity packages failed to build. As per my findings,
it is because sugar-toolkit-gtk3 code generates a .desktop file from
the information in the activity.info file. In doing so, it appends the
BUILDROOT to Icon and Path properties in the .desktop file. This fails
the check in /usr/lib/rpm/check-buildroot. Please find the scratch
build [1] for reference.

PR [2] makes the .desktop file creation configurable via a flag passed
to setup.py. If we can get a release out with this fix, I think we can
fix the current build failures. The other option is after %install, we
can delete the .desktop file from the build.

Appreciate your thoughts on this issue.
