Hi All, I finally got the time tonight to sit down and put the latest SoaS2 test release on my XO-1 to take it for a spin. Very nice. Unlike SoaS1 it boots again on my XO-1 :-) YAY!
Now some quick feedback to help improve it. On the XO release at least if you remove the livecd-tools (which will in turn remove syslinux) the perl dependency will be removed saving about 35 meg. I believe the point of the livecd-tools is to allow the duplication of usb keys which wouldn't work on the XO variant anyway. I'm working to get the syslinux dependence on perl split out into a sub package upstream. Also if you explicitly add 'ssmtp' or remove the requirement of cronie you'll lose sendmail in turn saving a couple more meg and the startup of a daemon. To fix the camera all you should need to add is 'gstreamer-plugins-good' and that should pull in all that's needed to get that to work (no idea why you've excluded that anyway :-) ) There's also an issue with the 'olpc' repository URL. Should probably move it to somewhere other than dsd's home dir. It seems also the auto import of rpm keys is broken for some reason and hence I can't pull in the new Fedora-12 signing key which has screwed the updates. I presume that's due to hacked fedora/generic-release rpm. Can someone confirm? I'll have more of a look over the next couple of days if I get a chance, a quick look showed quite a few spots where the included packages can be reduced.
