Moving joyride to rawhide

[Peter Robinson]

Hi All,

With the plans of releasing what is/was going to be 9.1.0 as based on
Fedora 11 (rather than the original plans of Fedora 10) what is the
plans on moving the joyride daily builds to pull in rawhide rather
than Fedora 10? Is the plan for the 9.1.0 release (is it still going
to be called that?) to be built from the existing OLPC build system
(pilgrim?) or is there plans to move it to the Fedora system? If there
are plans to move to the Fedora build system will it be able to sign
the releases etc, or is this planned for sometime later? The reason I
ask these questions is because its probably better to make the move
sooner rather than later so people don't waste time testing and fixing
things on Fedora 10 where it would be better to use the time with
Fedora 11 so larger changes like python 2.6 etc can be tested.

Sorry for the ramble.....

I believe that we want to build things using Fedora's tools -- we
actually would like Fedora to build the releases in future. So, this
means that pilgrim goes away, or that pilgrim gets adopted by Fedora
(the former, I guess!).

Some work may be needed on Fedora's build tools, but I was extremely
pleased to hear that Sugar-on-a-stick is being built with standard
Fedora tools, and we now have a (nearly?-)functional Soas XO image.

Details like security, signing and updates remain to be figured out, I
believe. For now, having a partially bootable image based on rawhide
will be a great start.

It would be best to use your time with OLPC-F11 preparation - I don't
see the current joyride going anywhere.

As Daniel said, I think a better plan is to start using livecd-tools as
our build system.  I tried making what would be the first "joyride" F11
build in this thread:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-olpc-list/2009-January/msg00081.html

But I'm stuck with /dev/root not being created for an odd reason, could
use some Fedora initrd knowledge.

Once we have something that boots, I'd be happy to set up nightly
automated builds using livecd-tools.

Thanks!

- Chris.
