* sugar-chroot-0.1 released: see [http://dev.laptop.org/git/users/mstone/sugar-chroot sugar-chroot]


Most X11 servers are configured to disable TCP connections. This means that in order to get a working X connection we can:
=== Purpose ===


a) bind-mount the X unix socket into the chroot.
''You want to hack sugar. You don't want to fuss around. '''You want sugar-chroot.'''''
b) ssh ''into'' the chroot with X11-forwarding enabled.
c) enable TCP on an X server, e.g. a nested Xephyr.


We're going to try option (3) first.

=== Chroot Construction ===
As excerpted from the '''[http://dev.laptop.org/git/users/mstone/sugar-chroot/plain/README README]''':


There are lots of ways to create appropriate chroots; e.g. by hand, with debootstrap, with mock, etc.
sugar-chroot consists of simple scripts. Download and unpack them like so:
 
NV=sugar-chroot-0.1
curl http://dev.laptop.org/~mstone/releases/SOURCES/$NV.tar.xz | tar Zxf $NV.tar.xz
cd $NV
 
To use them, pick a supported distro:
 
DISTRO=debian
DISTRO=fedora
 
To configure:
 
echo $DISTRO > conf/distro
$EDITOR conf/$DISTRO.mk
 
Then run
 
sudo make r/distro
 
to install your chroot.
