What is the accuracy of the hwclock on XOs? Can we assume that it will keep good time over an XO's five-year lifespan? The ballpark for the hardware is 1 second per day. We have some XO-1.5s that have their hwclocks off by 10-20 minutes. Would this likely be due to a fault at the factory

The XS build tools have not used the livecd toolchain for a long time -- so the name is not appropriate. Time for a rename (and repo reorg). While not as modular and elegant as olpc-os-builder, we do have a collection of tools and configs that, operated correctly, build XS isos for installation.
