you'd only want to do it if you have a suggested fix that will work for
OLPC and not break things for Fedora. Otherwise the usage case is out of
scope.
Since the repo is specified in the yum update (fedora, olpc, etc) we
could narrow down which group was responsible for the breakage.
Also: Since Fedora ARM is not PA, yet, I'm not sure Fedora maintainers
would want to see any ARM bugs yet, or how current ARM bugs are
reported. The Fedora ARM wiki page doesn't give any specifics.
If you haven't read the article linked to in the ticket about why
not to
use yum with XOs, you really should.
I read it and could agree with it yum-pre-deltarpms, but now yum is
pretty streamlined. The only drawback I see with yum now is the CPU
power required for Python. I'd love to see Zim (or an equivalent in C)
take over yum, but that is for another thread. Using apt-* on my Nokia
N900 is light years faster than yum on my OLPC.
