Hmm, Physics has always had a binary blob in it (_Box2D.so in a Python .egg), the packaging dance is an alien to me so perhaps Sebastian did some magic there (FWIW Physics is up to version 5 with new toolbar support, grab tool works while simulation is paused, code clean-up, and latest translations). I can email someone the Physics-5.tar.bz2 if needed? Folks don't seem to want these files on the wiki, and individual shell accounts for access is a real pain, if that's the only thing you ever use the account for – I gave up uploading last year, and I'm sure Bernie has better things to spend his time on :) Regards, --Gary > Regards. > Peter > > Note, please forward this if you think its important to other lists > but the discussion will happen on the SoaS list. > > [1] http://download.sugarlabs.org/sources/sucrose/fructose/ > _______________________________________________ > SoaS mailing list > SoaS@lists.sugarlabs.org > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas _______________________________________________ SoaS mailing list SoaS@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas
