<!-- Replace "Project Name" with the actual name of the project in the line above. -->

== Project Description ==

The Raspberry Pi Foundation maintains a kernel fork that is updated frequently. We would like to package kernel and firmware changes on a daily basis, and have these available in a testing repository so that anyone can use them. Periodically, we will select a kernel-firmware combination from this testing repository and make it available as the main Pidora kernel.
<!-- Description should be no longer than a paragraph. Include links to any relevant on-line resources. For example, [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki] or [http://developer.mozilla.org MDC]. -->

== Project Leader ==

[[User:Ronald Hernandez | Ronald Hernandez]]

<!-- Name(s) of primary person working on the project.

If there is more than one person working on related projects, they must have separate project pages, and the project title and description should identify who is doing what. For example:

Include links to personal pages within wiki and to blog sites. -->

== Project Contributor(s) ==

<!-- Name(s) of people casually working on the project, or who have contributed significant help. Include links to personal pages within wiki. Adding the names of your contributors here is a nice way to thank them.

NOTE: only the Project Leader should add names here. You should not add your own name to the Contributor list. -->

== Project Details ==

Use Python or Bash to create a script that will be automate the process of compiling the newest kernel. This will be done by 
checking Github for the latest kernel, downloading it, updating the spec file and sending the build to koji. This build will stay in a testing repository.
<!-- Provides more depth than the Project Description. This is the place for technical discussions, project specs, or other details. If this gets very long, you might consider breaking this part into multiple pages and linking to them. -->

=== Goals by Release ===

Goals for each release and plans for reaching those goals:
<!-- Note: Each student must have unique goals. These goals may be ''related'' to other students' work, but must be ''distinct'' and ''attainable'' regardless of the state of the other students' work. For example, under the umbrella of one project title, one student may work on packaging a piece of software and another may work on documentation, or one may work on solving one bug and another on solving another bug, but two students must not work on the same bug or depend on the other students' work in order to be able to complete their own project. -->
* 0.1 Prototype build in either python or bash able to retrieve package from github and send it to koji
* 0.2 Finish code, add options if I find they could be helpful in some way. Extra comments and testing with Crontab daily on a server in CDOT for bugs.(Have the testing repo in Pidora disabled by default for users to update to the newest kernel)
* 0.3 Create man page, perform tweaks and send for release.
