== Pre-built Images ==
 
 
 
There are few pre-built Debian images for Sugar, and the tools available in Debian make this easy for any integration or deployment team.  There's no need for us to duplicate documentation here.
 
 
 
See also https://wiki.debian.org/SugarBlend for one method and an image.
 
 
 
See also [[Debian/Raspberry Pi]] for the Raspberry Pi, a [[GSoC]] work in progress, based on an image builder [https://github.com/drtyhlpr/rpi23-gen-image.git|rpi23-gen-image].
 
 
 
See also [[0.112#Testing]] for Sugar [[Live Build]], an image for testing a new release of Sugar, or for certain development tasks.
 
 
 
== Packaging ==
 
 
 
Packaging of Sugar on Debian is done by a team:
 
* [https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-sugar/ pkg-sugar project],
 
* [https://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-sugar-devel pkg-sugar-devel mailing list],
 
* [https://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-sugar-commit pkg-sugar-commit mailing list],
 
* [https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-sugar/ pkg-sugar git repositories],
 
* [http://debian.jones.dk/pkg/sugar_/ package archive of Jonas Smedegaard],
 
 
 
Sucrose packages are usually updated in the unstable release. These packages migrate to the testing release after a while. You can see the current package versions [http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=sugar&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all here].
 
 
 
Those interested in developing Sugar software should visit our [http://developer.sugarlabs.org/ developer documentation website].
