Joyride was a build stream of [[OS images]] where bleeding edge development happened, from an earlier era of OLPC software development. Components from joyride were 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 <tt>testing</tt>, and then issue an update to <tt>updates</tt>. This can be done through the web interface at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates or through the build checkout: <tt>make update</tt> (you want type=E request=T).

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

== 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 <tt>/home/dilinger/public_rpms/joyride</tt> on dev.laptop.org. The joyride build system then automatically notices the new kernel RPMs and includes them in the next build.
