Install joyride

For information on how to install joyride, see Taking a Joyride.

Info

joyride is the build stream where bleeding edge development happens. Components from joyride are later pulled into stable branches for release.

Build process

Joyride releases are built automatically. A cronjob runs the build scripts 4 times every day. The build script checks for new/updated packages (aborting if there is nothing to do). After a new build has been made, it is announced on the devel mailing list.

For information about the software used to build the stream, see Build system.

Getting packages included

Packages with OLPC-3 disttags

If the package in question has an OLPC-3 branch, simply building under that branch will result in joyride inclusion. Just run "make build" from the OLPC-3 directory.

Packages without OLPC-3 disttags

For other packages, e.g. ones that go to Fedora 9 disttags (F-9), you must issue an update to testing, and then issue an update to updates. This can be done through the web interface at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates or through the build checkout: make update (you want type=E request=T).

To make the package land sooner, you can also tag it in dist-olpc3

Local code

For non-koji packages, there is also a dropbox system described in Build_system#Instructions_for_Use.

Kernel

Joyride currently uses the "testing" branch of the olpc-2.6 kernel git repository. RPMs of this kernel are built nightly and published at http://dev.laptop.org/~dilinger/testing/

When we want to include a kernel update in Joyride, Andres Solomon (dilinger) manually takes the RPMs as above and puts them in /home/dilinger/public_rpms/joyride on dev.laptop.org. The joyride build system then automatically notices the new kernel RPMs and includes them in the next build.
