Platform_Team/Sweets is an successor on jhconvert in area of meta packaging

jhconvert

justhonestconvert Sugar to distro packages :)

The main purpose of this project is helping people to package Sugar for various non-mainstream GNU/Linux distributions. If a GNU/Linux distribution is not Debian/Fedora/Ubuntu based and there is a lack of human resources to maintain packages, this project could be valuable.

How it works

The general idea is to collect all distro-independent information in one place to minimize maintenance costs. The process for generating packages is:

Fetch dependencies from sugar-jhbuild (native sugar building system)
Add distro-independent content like common package dependencies, various strings, urls etc.
Use distro-specific templates to generate native packages

Supported distros

Currently supported followed distributions:

Packages

Meta packages to install bunch of sugar components

sugar-glucose provides core components
sugar-fructose provides core activities
sugar-platform provides Sugar Platform
