Re: [Sugar-devel] Contributing through GSOC

[James Cameron]

Thanks Shaan.

In the context of 'Debian advocacy for Sugar' project idea, the
testing is not testing of Sugar, but is testing;

- of Debian experimental release packages,

- of Debian testing release packages,

- of Debian stable release packages,

- of the above in combination with Sugar, Toolkit, activities, and all
  dependencies (such as GTK, Telepathy, and so on),

- of rebuilding with Sugar Live Build,

We might call this integration testing rather than unit testing.  What
is being tested is the work by integrators, or Debian developers.  It
requires knowledge and experience to discern the difference between
problems whose cause is in Sugar, and problems caused by other
packages such as GTK and Telepathy.

Included in the tests should be the major features of the application,
and the collaboration between multiple network instances.

Thanks for the video of moving the Write activity over the display.
Fascinating.  I can reproduce it.  Are any other activities affected?
Can you fix it?

Re: [Sugar-devel] GSOC 2020

I'm not sure what you mean by installed sugarlabs.

I've no specific beginner issues at the moment, sorry.  It takes
longer to write them down and answer questions than it does to fix
them myself.  You can search GitHub Issues and filter by
org:sugarlabs instead of user:yourself.

You can also look at our defined project list for Sugar;

For improve and maintain Sugar activities, use Sugar, not Sugarizer.

I'm not sure what four links you are referring to.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Regarding activities of sugarlabs

[James Cameron]

Thanks for asking.

There is no list.  There are some lists, but there is no overall list.

Also, I'm not sure what kind of activities you are asking about.  I'll
answer for all three; Sugarizer, Sugar, and Sugar Labs.

1.  JavaScript learning activities for Sugarizer are listed in
https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer/tree/master/activities but there
occasionally exist activities that are not yet released (see the dev
branch), or are third-party (see repository clones).

2.  Python, JavaScript, C#, SmallTalk, and Squeak activities for Sugar
are listed in several places;

- on https://github.com/sugarlabs/ are most activities, in source form
  only,

- on https://github.com/ in developer accounts, such as
  https://github.com/quozl and https://github.com/godiard

- on http://git.sugarlabs.org/ are activities that have not yet been
  moved to GitHub,

- on activities.sugarlabs.org are ZIP bundle files and metadata for
  activities compatible with Sugar 0.112 and Fedora 18,

- on https://download.sugarlabs.org/ are ZIP bundle files, and source
  tarballs,

- on https://people.sugarlabs.org/ are ZIP bundle files, source
  tarballs, and experimental files,

- on wiki.sugarlabs.org,

- on wiki.laptop.org are several activities not compatible with Sugar,

- on http://dev.laptop.org/git/ are source code of several activities
  not compatible with Sugar,

3.  Activities by Sugar Labs are what members of the community do.
Some are described on private blogs, mailing list posts, during
oversight board meetings, on Wiki pages, on Facebook, or other media.

Yes, it is common.  For sugar-artwork, this pull request is in
progress;

https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-artwork/pull/114

However at the moment it stalls the build by reading from terminal,
because the lone "-" means read from stdin yet stdin is not
redirected.

You may contribute to the pull request with changes or test results.

[Sugar-devel] GSoC 2020

[Abhishek Tanwar]

Hello,
I am Abhishek Tanwar ,3rd year IT student from Bharati Vidyapeeth's College
of Engineering, New Delhi ,India .I started contributing to SUGARIZER about
a month ago and I have make quite a few contributions towards Sugarizer
repository.
I am interested in 3 GSoC ideas which are as follows:

   - Sugarizer game activity pack
   

   - Sugarizer knowledge activity pack
   

   - Sugarizer School Portal
   


I want to discuss the above ideas with Lionel Laske sir so that I can start
making my proposal."via Direct Mail" is written with Lionel Laske's name in
Sular Labs GSoC repository but I am afraid if I can e-mail him until he
asks to I am permitted to.
How can I get started? Any help in this direction would be much appreciated.

Thank You

Re: [Sugar-devel] Contributing through GSOC

Hi James,

Regarding the 'Debian advocacy for Sugar' task, I'm not sure how to go
about testing. Right now I'm just checking the console for errors upon
install, trying out all the settings and activities. I would like to know
if there is a more structured approach. All my searches online return
results of testing the Debian OS package or Installion of packages.
Request you to point me in the right direction.

Also, while testing your Ubuntu package I stumbled upon something I'm not
sure is an issue or feature. I'm able to drag the text editor activity
around the screen. This seems useful if one were to copy text displayed in
the previous screen(But it's just the launcher) so not sure about it. I
believe Sugar's UI prevents overlapping windows, so this is an issue? This
happens only in the text editor app.

Welcome Shaan.  Thanks for your interest.

Please do discuss your application ideas with us, and get involved.

The 'Debian advocacy for Sugar' project idea includes testing and then
fixing bugs in Debian packages of Sugar and activities, or any other
Debian packages they depend on.  The project idea requires working
with two communities; Sugar Labs and Debian.  My estimate is that this
will easily cover the 12 weeks of full-time work, and would be a
never-ending task, with always something to do better.  It will be
difficult to avoid getting bogged down in detail.  A key deficiency
is that Debian packages for Sugar after the latest Debian stable
release do not allow use of Sugar.  No release date is yet set for
Debian 11 Bullseye, but Ubuntu does use the Debian Testing packages,
and this is why Ubuntu 20.04 is unlikely to include Sugar.  An outcome
of the project idea is that Ubuntu 20.10 or 21.04 may include Sugar
once more.

Thanks for testing my Ubuntu 20.04 packages.  My packages demonstrate
that Sugar can be packaged in a way that works, but the packages do
not meet Debian or Ubuntu standards, and are difficult to use because
a separate package archive must be added.

You can find a tutorial for using Sugar on https://help.sugarlabs.org/

I'll not comment about 'Sugarizer game activity pack', best is for you
to contact Lionel Llaske about it.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Contributing through GSoC

[Srevin Saju]

Thanks Shaan for testing it out
 If you have any changes to the autoinstall.sh, you can create a PR, and it
would be beneficial to extend this to others.

Regarding empy again, it is because empy does not create a executable on
arch (see https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/issues/896 and more)
If you try the dev version, which is fixed on the master.

Try installing autoinstall.sh-git

Otherwise, of you would like to stick with the default released version
(0.116)
Then, as another user showed interest, you might want to install the Debian
derived python3-empy
https://github.com/srevinsaju/python3-empy-AUR

You can install it by
pacman -U 

Hope this will fix your issue.
There exists a sugar package for 0.114 by Ballo Gyorgy. I have asked the
admins of the Arch Linux AUR, but it seems like they cannot replace a
community package unless its more than 3 years old.

Thanks

Re: [Sugar-devel] Contributing through GSoC

[shaansubbaiah.c...@bmsce.ac.in]

 Hi Srevin,
I have tried installing Sugar for Arch from your repo(from the stable 
directory), had problems with the installer script. I'm not sure if it runs on 
vanilla Arch but I was unable to get it work on a fresh install of Manjaro. I 
have forked the repo 
(https://github.com/shaansubbaiah/sugar-arch/blob/master/stable/autoinstall.sh) 
and made slight changes in the installer script with which I got it working.
Even after getting the installer script to work, some packages like 
sugar-artwork fail to build due to empy missing. Even after installing empy it 
failed. Seems to be a common issue ? 
(https://www.gitmemory.com/issue/sugarlabs/sugar/896/569960865) 
    
Could you advise how to proceed?
Thanks,
Shaan

Hope this helps you install it natively, and it would benefit the community

Assuming that you have successfully set up a sugar development environment.

It is strongly recommended to once go through the sugar-docs especially:
https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-docs/blob/master/src/contributing.md

After the setup, you can simply fork, clone and work on an activity you
wish to contribute to. You can try solving existing issues or any issue of
your own which you faced while exploring the activities.
There is no need to ask permission to work on an issue.

Also, there are many activities that have hardly 1 or 2 issues open, you
need to figure out the issues(if exist) in such cases by yourself and
submit a pull request for the same, open a new issue in any activity only
when you are unable to solve that problem.

Given your interest in the project: Port Sugar and core activities to
python3
You can try contributing to activities that need some form of porting.

Hope it helps, Thanks

I just discovered that desktop setup that I downloaded for Sugarizer is for
debian operating systems. Where can I find the setup for ubuntu versions.

[Sugar-devel] Gsoc 2020

[Massabe Lydiane]

Hello everybody,

I am Massabe Lydiane from Buea, Cameroon.
I am currently pursuing a bachelor  degree of engineering(electrical
engineering) in the university of Buea. I am really interested in
participating in Gsoc this year contributing this great organization. I
have some programming experience in python and I am learning javascript.

I want to work under the project: Improve and maintain 25 sugar activities
for gsoc this year.

I have used Music Blocks and have also downloaded Sugarizer on my phone.
While installing sugarizer on my linux machine, do I need to install all
the four links listed?

Also can i have beginner issues to get started with?

Regards.
Lydiane
