[edit] Wish List

• How are .pyc files in builds created? Will they be regenerated automatically if I change a .py file and delete the .pyc file?--Mikus Grinbergs 2008-5-14 http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/sugar/2008-May/005696.html

[edit] Making builds

Our documentation on how to make your own build is pretty spartan right now, but starting with

• http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Building_custom_images
• http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Puritan

is a good start. The http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Olpc-update page has information which will let you olpc-update to your custom build.

Try the process out and help us document it better!
