XS Software Repositories
This page describes where software for the School server is kept, and how to obtain it. For additional information, see XS School server software.

Source Code
We only offer git access. Our repositories are at git://dev.laptop.org/projects/. A web interface is also available at http://dev.laptop.org/git/.
Existing school server repositories include:
- xs-builder - XS Builder
- xs-pkgs - This one pulls in the core system and services
- xs-config - The configuration files overriding those specified by a package
- idmgr - The School Identity Manager (Registration service)
- xs-callhome - The remote monitoring service (eventually)
You can clone a repository using the git command:
git clone git://dev.laptop.org/projects/xs-livecd xs-livecd
Compiled Binaries
These are currently available in two flavors, stable and testing. The stable repositories contain a mix of compiled RPMs that have been tested and are known to work with one another. The testing repositories contains RPMs that may not work.

There are currently no debug repositories for stable or testing.
On xs-dev.laptop.org, these trees live in /xsrepos.
These are described by stable.repo and testing.repo, located in /etc/yum.repos.olpc.d on a school server. You can change a school server from one to the other by setting/clearing the enable flag of the appropriate repositories in these files.
The packages in the two stable Fedora repositories are untouched copies from the Fedora distribution, but may be older than the most up-to-date Fedora distribution, to allow testing. The copies in the testing repositories are updated from the Fedora distribution daily (but may be backtracked).
Fedora 7 Mirror
In order to make local development easier, we also provide a mirror of Fedora 7, with certain exclusions. This is maintained at http://fedora.laptop.org/ (updates at 6AM BST daily). A typical configuration to access these looks like:
http://fedora.laptop.org/fedora-linux-releases/7/Everything/i386/os/ http://fedora.laptop.org/fedora-linux-updates/7/i386/
The configuration, crontab, and scripts that maintain the mirror are located in a git repository at git://dev.laptop.org/projects/fai-config/fedora/mirror/.
Live CD Images
A Live CD Image of the School server software is available at http://xs-dev.laptop.org/xs/. The latest one may be obtained using:
wget http://xs-dev.laptop.org/xs/OLPC_XS_LATEST.iso
