School Server Packaging

Project Description

School Server Packaging

The One Laptop per Child project (OLPC) provides a software distribution for what they call the "school server" (XS). This distribution needs to run on both ARM and x86_64/i386 systems.

There are some packages that have been created for this school server which should be reviewed using Fedora's packaging guidelines and made a part of the Fedora package set. This may involve refactoring the packages (dividing them up), adjusting spec files, and going through the Fedora package review process. There are some XO 1.75 ARM computers available for sign-out if needed.

Expected outcome: The XS packages will be in the Fedora package set.

Maximum number of students: 6 (each taking several different packages)

Skills required: packaging, scripting, testing

Resources: Jerry Vonauk, Adam Holt, Chris Tyler (ctyler)

Project Details

The basic idea behind this part of the project is to provide a software distribution for the XS packages to run on both ARM and x86_64/i386 systems.

Project Plan

Key contacts:

Goals for each release and plans for reaching those goals:

  • 0.1 Release the XS Packages that can run and distribute on both ARM and x86_64/i386 systems.
  • 0.2 Take the 0.1 release and make any changes or correction that need to be done and test it.
  • 0.3 Finalize the package release.

Plan for each Goals:

  • 0.1 Each members will work on a XS package from the given sources and will build either an x86_64 or an i386 XS package.
  • 0.2 Changes or corrections will be made to the .spec file for a successful x86_64 or i386 build and a primary and secondary koji build will take place.
  • 0.3 Allow the XS packages to be signed and available for download on a given website.
