Bert Freudenberg, under contract with Viewpoints Research Institute (VPRI). I usually build the rpms. Yoshiki Ohshima and Takashi Yamamiya (both employed by VPRI) do when I am unavailable. > 1) What do you build? etoys rpm, squeak-vm rpm, Etoys xo bundle > 2) Where does it come from? / Who directly provides you with source > code? Source comes directly from VPRI. Developers there are Yoshiki Ohshima, Takashi Yamamiya, Scott Wallace, Ted Kaehler, Ian Piumarta, and y.t., directed by Alan Kay and Kim Rose. There are many more contributors from the Etoys and Squeak community, contributions are selectively pulled by the VPRI team. > 3) Where does the output of your build process go? / Who handles the > immediate output of your builds? rpms are pulled into the build from ~bert/public_rpms/joyride on dev.laptop.org by way of being uploaded to http://tinlizzie.org/olpc/sugar/rpm/ (a VPRI-operated server) and mirrored to http://etoys.laptop.org/rpms/ (one can also "yum install" from the latter) > 4) Where specifically is it built?

My personal machine running a virtual machine with Fedora-7. > 5) What build systems do you use to build software?

For example, etoys is also made available via sugar, and there was talk to get squeak and etoys into Fedora. - Bert - _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
