OLPC-4
OLPC-4 is the Fedora disttag for the porting of the XO base software from Fedora 9 to Fedora 10 that took place in 2008. Fedora 10 was merged into joyride as of build joyride-2451 in September 2008. See also OLPC-3 that tracked the migration from Fedora 7 to Fedora 9. This page details the major regressions which are related to fallout from the distro upgrade.
Addressing some may require modifications to Fedora packages similar to those in Distro version migration nastiness.
