Here's the upgrade-everything-to-Karmic change. As promised, some fairly
important things break.


Here are some of the more noticable problems:

* The Karmic xscreensaver is newer than ours, so we're pulling and invoking
  the upstream version instead. It will prompt you for the "chronos"
  password but it really wants the password you used to log in. Or hit
  CTRL-ALT-F2, log in with chronos and "killall xscreensaver".

* I had to bump the rootfs size from 950M to 1024M to make room for
  everything (most likely xscreensaver).

* WiFi isn't working. No clue why not.

* The list of packages installed on the run-time image are different, almost
  certainly due to changes in the upstream dependencies. That may or may not
  have anything to do with the known failures.


That said, if you use a wired internet connection, you can log in and browse
the web, suspend, etc. and it doesn't crash.



FWIW, upgrading to Karmic causes these packages to be removed from the
run-time image:

  acpi
  cron
  gcj-4.4-jre-lib
  gob2
  icedtea-6-jre-cacao
  libcloog-ppl0
  libclutter-0.9-0
  libgmpxx4ldbl
  libmysqlclient15off
  libpcsclite1
  libpolkit-gobject-1-0
  libppl-c2
  libppl7
  libreadline5
  python-pkg-resources
  python-setuptools
  swig
  wpasupplicant


These packages are added:

  arora
  dictionaries-common
  hdparm
  ibus
  ibus-anthy
  ibus-chewing
  ibus-gtk
  insserv
  libbsd0
  libc-bin

File src/package_repo/repo_list_image.txt (right):

Can't we use local ibus deb packages just like as repo_list_dev.txt?

Since libcros (src/platform/cros/chromeos_language.cc) depends on locally
modified version of IBus at src/third_party/ibus/files/, I think using default
IBus packages for Karmic would break the library.

Dropping wpasupplicant should be ok (thought it'd been done already).  I'll deal
w/ wifi fallout.

Just tested and the base-level wifi works fine; if there are any problems it's
above connman.

Alright. I've shrunk the image size back down by removing the Java stuff needed
to create the pretty picture for bootchart. We'll still collect the bootchart
data, it just won't be processed on the system. I also ran a quick experiment
and determined that blocking the upstream xscreensaver restores the upstream
functionality and also enables the size to remain the same, but I'm going to
leave xscreensaver alone for now since we need to update our version and this
will remind us.

Watch out. Here it comes...
