Linux OS and OLPC software

Much of the source code for the OLPC is stored in a "git" repository at http://dev.laptop.org/git/ . You can check out a particular program, e.g. the kernel, with a command like:

 git-clone git://dev.laptop.org/git/sugar

For more details, please see the git page in the wiki.

Other parts of the system are pulled directly from the Fedora 7 source and binary RPMs.

The script used to build the shipping image of the OLPC operating system is called "pilgrim", and it is maintained here: http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=users/cscott/pilgrim;a=summary

Open Firmware (bootstrap ROM)

The source code for Open Firmware can be checked out of its Subversion repository by the command
