Re: State of Sugar packages in Ubuntu
Hello Daniel, Daniel Holbach [2012-09-07 11:35 +0200]: Hello everybody, a couple of merge proposals for various packages of various versions of the Sugar toolkit were submitted and it looked like many of the packages had been removed from Debian for a while. After some discussion on #ubuntu-motu it became clear that for some reason they had not been removed from Ubuntu yet and these series were abandoned Upstream as well. Would it be possible to remove these packages? Packages I found in the sponsoring queue were: sugar-0.84, sugar-0.88, sugar-base-0.86, sugar-datastore-0.86, sugar-toolkit-0.86 but I assume there are more. I saw the same yesterday during my sponsoring shift, and I removed all packages for old sugar series (i. e. all 0.96).

Last I chatted with Luke F, the development platform had migrated to Fedora.

Last I chatted with Luke F, the development platform had migrated to Fedora. Iain Lane pinged me a while back about this packageset; I requested it when I worked for Activity Central http://activitycentral.com in 2010 and was working on bringing a number of AC developers on board working on porting Sugar from Fedora. The project was successful, insofar as Ubuntu 10.10 had a decent, mostly-working Sugar stack. Unfortunately, Mozilla was changing the way they provide support for xulrunner, so we weren't able to have a functional Browse http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4024 since the webkit-based Sugar browser was very immature. Basically, Activity Central moved on, and the developers who would have been candidates for joining the Sugar packageset uploaders moved on to other projects. The Debian OLPC team http://alioth.debian.org/projects/debian-olpc/ still maintains Sugar, but under significantly reduced staffing. -- Luke Faraone;; Debian Ubuntu Developer; Sugar Labs; GMU 2014 lfaraone on irc.[freenode,oftc].net -- https://luke.wf/ohhello PGP fprint: 5189 2A7D 16D0 49BB 046B DC77 9732 5DD8 F9FD D506 -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
