Thank you for reminding me that I have been forgetting to post updates.
I have been absolutely consumed with work on getting RHEL bits into
Conary repositories in support of rPath's commercial support for RHEL
4 and 5.  (A good deal of that work will apply to boots, but that fact
hasn't made boots packages magically appear.)

While I have done a bootstrap import of a complete set of RPMs
for the f12 release as previously mentioned, the repository is
not publicly available for infrastructure reasons -- in order to
make building go faster, I'm using systems that are located in
close physical proximity within rPath's network to get started.
Once I've completed the initial import, I'll move the repository
to a public location for further imports...

I'm hoping to work on this over vacation.

One of the biggest things for doing an import beyond the initial
f12 packages is the bodhi integration for ordered updates.  I can
point mirrorball at base f12 and it happily imports it, but to
then import all the updates in order we really need bodhi
integration.  Bertux hasn't had a chance to do this because we
haven't had a chance to merge our mirrorball branches to make
the interface public.  My mistake.

So, Bertux: I just pushed the code to a branch:
hg clone http://bitbucket.org/johnsonm/mirrorball-boots/
That's our latest branch that we haven't yet been able to merge
back into trunk.  (Really, it will become our trunk once we
merge our dependent infrastructure with it, but with distributed
version control the idea of what "trunk" is depends on your point
of view.  :)  Now it's ready for bodhi integration!  :)
