        Hi Rich,
        As of RC2, the update is pushed and Robotics Spin is being
          built. It would be nice if you can try it to see if it has any
          apparent problems:

        Thanks,
        Hedayat

        
      Awesome.  I gave it a try with qemu-kvm, it boots and runs fine,
      minus the gnome-shell experience.  I couldn't find the "install to
      hard drive" icon anywhere in fallback mode, is there a separate
      package that needs to be installed for that?

    
    AFAIK, it is added by the scripts in .ks files. Maybe they forgot to
    add it to fallback mode too. IIRC, the .desktop files was already
    there and you should just enabled it, but I might be wrong.

    
      A few things:

      - I was looking over the kickstart, it looks like there's some
      utilities like telnet and minicom that were removed in the .ks we
      based the robotics .ks off of, but would probably be pretty
      helpful to roboticists.  I know I use gtkterm and minicom a lot to
      talk to sensors, and I can see telnet being helpful.  I will add
      these back; any other suggestions?

    
    I don't know if they are already included, but libraries for
    firewire access (libraw1394 and libdc1394) and libftdi are helpful.
    But they might be already pulled in as mrpt dependencies. And...
    have we included -devel packages in the spin? I'm not sure but maybe
    some or most of them should be included. For example, while MRPT
    provides some applications but its library provides lots of
    functionality so probably mrpt-devel package should be included
    inside the live version while it is marked as optional in comps. It
    is very likely that it is applicable to other packages too.

    
      - Fawkes currently has some broken deps, so it's commented out of
      the ks for now.  Once f16 is released, we can add it back.

      
      - Should we try to get a page on spins.fedoraproject.org before
      the release next week?  We already have some artwork from the
      design team, and the Robotics Suite page on the wiki is probably a
      good starting point for the spins page content.  I think we need
      to make a ticket at [1] with the artwork and content to get that
      done.

    
    It'd be great. The robotics spin is now an official spin and it is
    much better if it has its own page as a product rather than wiki
    pages.

    
    Thanks,

    Hedayat
