OK, with the looming hopeful rebase to rawhide I thought I'd do a
quick review of where we're at in forked packages.

Awaiting review:
Mothanna-fonts.noarch 0:0.02-3.olpc3

I heard rumours there might be license issues with this:
bootfw.i386 0:q2e28-1.olpc2.unsigned

No idea but no package reviews:
cerebro.noarch 0:3.0.6-1.olpc3
ds-backup-client.noarch 0:0.8.1-1.olpc3
olpc-licenses.noarch 0:8.2.0.0-1.olpc3
olpcrd.i386 0:0.50-0
olpcsudo.noarch 0:1.4-1
olpc-update.noarch 0:2.17-1
squeak-vm.i386 0:3.10-3olpc11

Not sure if this version works with mugshot/bigboard:
hippo-canvas.i386 0:0.3.0-5.20081014svn.olpc4
hippo-canvas-python.i386 0:0.3.0-5.20081014svn.olpc4

This is upstream but someone had possible issues:
hulahop.i386 0:0.4.7-1.olpc4

Already in rawhide so no issue:
sugar-artwork.i386 0:0.83.3-1.olpc4
sugar-base.i386 0:0.83.3-1.olpc4
sugar-datastore.i386 0:0.83.2-1.olpc4
sugar.i386 0:0.83.5-1.olpc4
sugar-presence-service.noarch 0:0.83.3-1.olpc4
sugar-toolkit.i386 0:0.83.4-1.olpc4

Deprecated (I presume we need to do the dead package process). Also
gnome-python2-desktop-evince is in rawhide so do we need to obsolete
these two against them to ensure easy upgrade?:
sugar-evince.i386 0:2.24.1-1.olpc4
sugar-evince-python.i386 0:2.24.1-1.olpc4

Forks for rainbow I believe (Status?):
telepathy-gabble.i386 0:0.7.16-1.olpc4
telepathy-glib.i386 0:0.7.20-1.olpc4
telepathy-salut.i386 0:0.3.7-2.olpc4

Forked for dependancies (If we're going to ship gnome as well do the
deps now matter?):
totem-gstreamer.i386 0:2.24.3-5.olpc4
totem.i386 0:2.24.3-5.olpc4
totem-mozplugin.i386 0:2.24.3-5.olpc4
totem-pl-parser.i386 0:2.24.2-5.olpc4

Forked for deps but will go away whenever abiword 2.7/2.8 gets released:
libabiword.i386 1:2.6.5-3.olpc4

This is already in F-10/rawhide so noidea why its still around:
libertas-usb8388-firmware.noarch 2:5.110.22.p23-1.olpc3

I think the issues for this are fixed in python 2.6:
pygobject2.i386 0:2.15.4-3.olpc4.3
pygtk2.i386 0:2.13.0-2.olpc4.1
pygtk2-libglade.i386 0:2.13.0-2.olpc4.1
python.i386 0:2.5.2-1.olpc4.1
python-libs.i386 0:2.5.2-1.olpc4.1

Umm.... I think initscripts/upstart have patches due to rainbow but
generally I have no idea:
upstart.i386 0:0.3.9-19.olpc4.1
rainbow.noarch 0:0.7.27-1.olpc4
initscripts.i386 0:8.86-1.olpc4.3
kernel.i586 0:2.6.27-20090104.1.olpc.48de97f1a90c0e4

Cheers,
Peter
