Sugar packages are being built by jhconvert and follow its matrix of package versions.

Releases:

last stable release
development versions (fetching from code repos) - packages with version 9999

9999 glucose packages have source USE flag to install links to .py sources. So, you can keep glucose git repos in your sources directory and all .py files from /usr will be linked to your sources directory. to use this feature you need to setup SUGAR_SRC_ROOT environment variable and `git clone` all glucose packages to $SUGAR_SRC_ROOT, names of subdirectories in $SUGAR_SRC_ROOT should be equal to proper package name.
