== F11-XO1 ==
+
* Build system source: http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/dextrose/repos/mainline
   −
We use [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OS_Builder olpc-os-builder], a tool
+
* Out-of-tree patches for Sugar 0.88: http://people.sugarlabs.org/bernie/sugar/sugar-0.88-patches/
used by OLPC to create official and customized system images.
     −
Our version contains local customizations specific to Paraguay and some
+
* Yum repository for custom Fedora packages (along with sources): http://download.sugarlabs.org/dextrose/testing/f11-0.88/rpms/
patches that should be upstreamed.
     −
== How to create a build ==
+
* IRC: #sugar on irc.freenode.net (English preferred, Spanish also spoken by several members)
   −
We cook our builds on [[Machine/robbie]], which is Fedora 11 i386.
  −
I could create builds also on my laptop, which runs Fedora 12 x86_64.
  −
What the host system runs shouldn't matter much, because all the work
  −
is being done in a chroot environment.
  −
  −
* Checkout our local tree:
  −
  −
  git clone git://git.sugarlabs.org/dextrose/mainline.git
  −
  −
* One time preparation
  −
  −
  yum upgrade
  −
  yum install libtomcrypt-devel bitfrost make gcc mtd-utils
  −
  make
  −
  −
* Build:
  −
  −
  time sudo ./osbuilder.py examples/f11-xo1-py.ini
  −
  −
* Wait 15 minutes
  −
  −
* Serve hot
  −
  −
== Signing ==
  −
  −
* Put the 4 signing keys somewhere in your home:
  −
  −
bernie@robbie:~$ ll src/olpc/keys/

* Make sure the keys are '''NOT''' world-readable
  −
  −
* Edit the paths in the <tt>[signing]</tt> section of <tt>examples/f11-xo1-py.ini</tt>

== Publishing the images ==
  −
  −
I'm currently publishing selected builds in [http://oficina.paraguayeduca.org/~bernie/f11-xo1-py/ my public html folder].
  −
  −
Signed builds should be published only if they implement the OLPC anti-theft system
  −
([http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Antitheft_HowTo OATS]). Signing does
  −
not have anything to do with quality or endorsement (i.e. signed builds are not
  −
necessarily bug-free).
  −
  −
* TODO: We don't have a place for publishing official images yet
  −
  −
* TODO: We don't have a procedure for releasing builds to field technicians (we may use repo.paraguayeduca.org in the future)
  −
  −
* TODO: We don't keep release notes for our builds (we should probably use the wiki)
  −
  −
  −
== Customizing the build ==
  −
  −
The topic of  is too vast to discuss in detail here. Start by reading http://git.paraguayeduca.org/gitweb/users/bernie/olpc-os-builder.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/doc/README README] in the olpc-os-builder tree. Then, as needed, read the various <tt>README</tt>
  −
files contained in the [http://git.paraguayeduca.org/gitweb/users/bernie/olpc-os-builder.git/tree/HEAD:/modules modules] directory.
  −
  −
Being a Build Master involves knowledge of many workflows, including:
  −
  −
* Building Sugar in [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Jhbuild sugar-jhbuild].
  −
  −
* Dealing with yum and [http://www.rpm.org/wiki/Docs rpm].
  −
  −
* Understanding the [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines Fedora packaging] workflow and conventions.
  −
  −
* Creating yum package repositories with <tt>[http://createrepo.baseurl.org/]</tt>.
  −
  −
* Uploading activities to [http://activities.sugarlabs.org].
  −
  −
* General understanding of the Linux system plumbing infrastructure: [http://www.kernel.org/ kernel],
  −
[http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev.html udev], [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus dbus], [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/DeviceKit DeviceKit], [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/NetworkManager NetworkManager],
  −
[http://www.x.org/wiki/ Xorg]...
  −
  −
* Flashing laptops and debugging any problems
  −
  −
* Interaction with the Sugar and OLPC community to solve issues and minimize our divergence from the official builds.
  −
  −
== Upstream ==
  −
  −
Our upstream code comes from dev.laptop.org:
  −
  −
git remote add olpc git://dev.laptop.org/projects/olpc-os-builder
  −
git fetch olpc
  −
git log olpc/master
  −
  −
== Building custom kernels ==
  −
  −
$ git clone git://git.paraguayeduca.org/users/bernie/olpc-2.6
  −
$ cd olpc-2.6
  −
$ setarch i386 make ARCH=i386 xo_1-kernel-rpm
