From reading through the past messages to the list, it seems like once someone else breaks something in Fedora core for us, we have a hard time fixing it. Two things would be really helpful for this. One, a page on the wiki explaining how to import a F15 update to a SoaS install. Two, a page detailing the standard procedures for testing SoaS. What do you think? Matt </pre> </blockquote> I did such a test tonight by building a Remix pointed at the rawhide repo. I used the procedure in: > <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit#Build_Your_Own_Remix">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit#Build_Your_Own_Remix</a> I edited the fedora-live-mini.ks to point it to the rawhide repo (see fedora-live-mini-rawhide,ks attached) I edited the fedora-livecd-soas.ks to point to the above modified file. Soas-v5-31102010-remix.txt is the command used in f14 root terminal to run livecd-creator (livecd-to disk) to build the remix.iso all three attached files are needed to do this. This gives me a f15 (rawhide) Soas build. Rawhide ( f15) now uses systemd ( <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html">http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html</a> ) a completely new boot system. : / tonights remix.iso would not get into a graphic boot. startx seems to endlessly cycle. the alternate boot method available is upstart: At boot*hold <ESC> <TAB> linux0 init=/sbin/upstart got to an init 3 login: liveuser logged in OK worked but startx failed as well. You will find that just testing the nightly composes and reporting bugs to the developers is a full time job!

I assume that the nightly composes will restart soon. The developers working on Sugar need to know what is not working so they can incorporate the fixes for future sugar builds. It is always possible to build your own remix in the meantime. I have been doing this routinely to see what features are in updates-testing and rawhide. I edit the mini.ks in /usr/share/spin-kickstarts/ to point to these other repos) ( I use a EeePC1000HE and Acer Aspire One netbook with external usb drives with f13 and f14 installed on them to do this, so a powerful computer is not required) See: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit#Build_Your_Own_Remix">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit#Build_Your_Own_Remix</a> All testing is valuable.

If we find bugs, can they be fixed? If we find blocker bugs and they cannot be fixed, can the release be cancelled? I sent an email about this to the SoaS list, but didn't get a response.
