What if, instead of concentrating on the nightly builds, we went after
the updates to Fedora 15 as they came in? From reading through the
past messages to the list, it seems like once someone else breaks
something in Fedora core for us, we have a hard time fixing it. Two
things would be really helpful for this. One, a page on the wiki
explaining how to import a F15 update to a SoaS install. Two, a page
detailing the standard procedures for testing SoaS. What do you think?
Matt
I did such a test tonight by building a Remix pointed at the rawhide repo.
I used the procedure in:
> http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit#Build_Your_Own_Remix
I edited the fedora-live-mini.ks to point it to the rawhide repo (see
fedora-live-mini-rawhide,ks attached)
I edited the fedora-livecd-soas.ks to point to the above modified file.
Soas-v5-31102010-remix.txt is the command used in f14 root terminal to
run livecd-creator (livecd-to disk) to build the remix.iso
all three attached files are needed to do this.
This gives me a f15 (rawhide) Soas build.
Rawhide ( f15) now uses systemd (
http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html ) a completely new boot
system. : /
tonights remix.iso would not get into a graphic boot. startx seems to
endlessly cycle. the alternate boot method available is upstart:
*At boot*hold <ESC> <TAB> linux0 init=/sbin/upstart*
got to an init 3 login: liveuser logged in OK worked but startx failed
as well.
You will find that just testing the nightly composes and reporting bugs
to the developers is a full time job!
Cordially;

Matt;
You are correct that Soas-v4-Mango lassi is closed.
http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/14.RC1/Live/Fedora-14-i686-Live-SoaS/Fedora-14-i686-Live-SoaS.iso
Seems to be destined to be destined to be the final version that will be
released on nov 3.
I assume that the nightly composes will restart soon.
The developers working on Sugar need to know what is not working so they can
incorporate the fixes for future sugar builds.
It is always possible to build your own remix in the meantime. I have been
doing this routinely to see what features are in updates-testing and
rawhide.
I edit the mini.ks in /usr/share/spin-kickstarts/ to point to these other
repos)
( I use a EeePC1000HE and Acer Aspire One netbook with external usb drives
with f13 and f14 installed on them to do this, so a powerful computer is not
required)
See: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit#Build_Your_Own_Remix
All testing is valuable. Please contribute if you have the time..
Thanks

I'd like to help out, but I don't see any benefit to additional
testing on v4. If we find bugs, can they be fixed? If we find blocker
bugs and they cannot be fixed, can the release be cancelled? I sent an
email about this to the SoaS list, but didn't get a response.
