OK, thanks.  The existing updater works fine in Debian; I don't know
if it was ever pushed into koji, but it is certainly compatible with
Fedora.  If anyone wants to develop a new updater, I can probably
offer some advice.  Using an explicit update_url field in the activity
is recommended for activities packaged with the current updater; the
OLPC wiki default was only ever intended to be a bridge for legacy
apps, not a recommended practice.  I prefer email for initial
discussions of updater ideas: 9am isn't a great meeting time for me.

http://cananian.livejournal.com/48460.html also has some thoughts on updaters.
