Build Branches

We currently have four build branches: joyride, meshtest, xtest, and rainbow.

If you are trying to perform a delicate piece of integration for which it would be helpful to have a separate build, please contact one of the build system maintainers.

Instructions for Use

To add a completely new piece of software (either a new activity or a new package) to a build, two steps are necessary.

1. Modify streams.d/olpc-development.conf to mention the new activity or new package.

2. Include a source code package (.xo or .src.rpm) and a binary package (.xo or .rpm) in ~/public_rpms/<build>/ on dev.laptop.org.

3. Update ~/public_rpms/<build>/ChangeLog to describe the changes made by the packages you are introducing.

Output from the Build System

1. An RPM repository, currently located under the repository root

2. The output of the build system is currently located under the streams root
