Hi Daniel,
Just wanted to point out the slowly-growing list of custom packages that we're including in the XO-1.5 F11 build:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/F11_for_1.5#Modifications_to_Fedora
I'm hoping to spearhead some efforts to get these included in the Fedora package tree (specifically dracut, dracut-modules-olpc, olpc-bootanim, olpc-library, olpc-switch-desktop and olpc-utils) but I have not found the time yet. If anyone wants to contribute and has some time on their hands, getting a head start on a couple of these would be a huge help.
A couple of things.
There's already an olpc-utils package in Fedora. I'm the current maintainer of the package. Let me know how I can help, or you can request to be added to the ACL here https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/olpc-utils and do it yourself.
Also can you add any RH BZ stuff you do as a blocker to the tracker bug to make it easier to track https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462625
I would be surprised if dracut doesn't make it to rawhide soon as its on the Feature list for F12. I'll poke some people here at FudCon to try and find out the status.
I also noticed an updated openchrome driver hit F11 testing in the last day or so, not sure if that has the changes you mention.
Cheers, Peter
