[Sugar-devel] GCI and our build environment

[Sam Parkinson]

I sent some patches to fix submodules in bundlebuilder.  They are part 
of the 0.110.0 release.

Ignacio found out that it was an issue with sugar-build not being 
submodule ready, and has fixed the bug:  
https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-build/issues/41

Thanks,
Sam
