| − | == Sugar on Debian 5.0 (Lenny) ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Official Sucrose 0.82 ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Old, only partial, but officially included in Lenny'''
| |
| − | | |

| − | | |
| − | Installation instructions:

| − | Additional Sugar activities can be installed locally from .xo packages. Some activities requiring additional library code (like Read and Write), needs specially crafted .xo packages, however - the standard released ones won't work.
| |
| − | | |
| − | We do recommend using the version 0.84 packages instead, as mentioned below:
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Sucrose 0.86 and 0.84 ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Up-to-date version, unofficial repository'''
