Hi folks,

I just wanted to report a small victory: I worked out instructions at 

   http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Chroot

which enabled me to run today's Ubuntu Jaunty sugar packages in a debootstrap
chroot on my home machine. No promises that it will keep working tomorrow or
that it will work on your crazy setup, but I think it's worth trying, since it
/is/ fairly repeatable.

Who knows -- perhaps they'll work for others who are weary (or wary) of
jhbuild?

P.S. - If you're looking for a fun weekend project, then you might consider
extending my notes by

   * making the instructions work on more platforms
   * figuring out how to cache the downloads, e.g. with approx
   * baked my logic into a downloadable script or makefile
   * etc...
