[sugar] Dropped jhbuild support for Fedora 8 and Ubuntu 7.10

2008-10-21 Thread Marco Pesenti Gritti
Gadget requires a more recent version of glib than those shipped by these distro. The policy would be to keep support for 2 stable versions of Fedora and Ubuntu. Both new stable are going to be released pretty soon, so I hope this won't be too much of an issue. I turned off the Fedora 8 buildbot.

When I am asked about whether the XO handles printing, I present that the fact it does not is a feature, not a bug. And people understand. It is not out of the ordinary that the life of school printers will be the life of the first set of ink cartridges or toner, there being no budget to
