</div>We also need<br>
<br>
- a stream id - perhaps 2-digit year for the development builds<br>
- a "custom stream" identifier for non OLPC builds<br>
<br>
I like the idea floated that we could use the same ints as we use for<br>
OFW files -- but I am not too attached to it.<br>
<br>
For development and non-OLPC builds, something like:<br>
<br>
o112001.zd4 (7 chars)<br>
<br>
o - OS development build from OLPC<br>
2 - XO-1 following OFW numbering<br>
12 - 12.x.y stream<br>
001 - build nr<br>
<br>
ni312001.zd4 (8 chars)<br>
<br>
ni - Nicaragua build - 2 chars for country code :-)<br>
3 - XO-1.5<br>
12 - 12.x.y stream<br>
001 - build nr<br>
<br>
For official signed OLPC builds, we could switch to this scheme, or<br>
stick to the existing one.<br>
<br>
This scheme forces a bit of structure in the build name, even for<br>
custom builds. We actually need this, because when builds get to<br>
manufacturing, some custom builds have a "local" name (such as the<br>
Peru build you mentioned) and others just say "os7.zd4".<br>
<br>
Sometimes there are a few "os7.zd4" dancing around, and we've worried<br>
about confusion at manufacturing.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
