Likewise.

The only dependency problem I ran into was a conflict between
olpc-sound and csound, which I was able to remove without breaking
anything. I am quite pleased with the recent improvements. I had not
been able to compile sugar-jhbuild successfully for weeks.

However, I had to invoke 'force checkout' several times, because of
missing .git directories.

Yes. You are in a new X session that doesn't know what your main
session is doing, so you have to tell it what you want. I often switch
keyboards, so I create scripts that I can use in Terminal. My ru
script is

#!/bin/bash
setxkbmap ru

My asdf and фыва scripts both contain

setxkbmap dvorak

while my aoeu script contains

setxkbmap us

for when I want to let others type without confusion.

You want 'setxkbmap fr'.
