===Request for Help===

*[Sugar-devel] Sugar in Tuquito Distribution 3/27/2011:

I would like to learn more about Sugar and the procedures that are needed to
be folowed in order to make that tuquito (http://tuquito.org.ar this is an
ubuntu derivated distribution) takes part of the distributions that are
officially supported by sugar.
I would like to tell you our case, and what we have done until now

1. Necessity
Classmate netbooks has been chosen in some provinces of Argentine and in the
"Conectar Igualdad Plan" (http://www.conectarigualdad.gob.ar/). These
computers will have distributions based on Ubuntu. One of the problems the
users of ubuntu are facing is that the packages of sugar are not up to date
or we have problems to compile the hulahop seccion and we have errors
executing the browse activity because of the updating of xulrunner .

2. Solutions
considering the situation that we have with the people of Tuquito, we have
decided to try to solve these problems and compile sugar from jhbuild. You
can see on these links 2 tickets created by me relating to this job (
http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2496 http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2629
).

3. Procedures that we have followed to compile sugar in Tuquito (can be
applied in ubuntu 10.10 too)
first step:
In /sugar-jhbuild/sjhbuild/sysdeps.py add the following line
Line 18: 'Tuquito': 'unstable',
in line 53 we add 'Tuquito'
Line 53: elif name in ['ubuntu', 'debian','Tuquito']:
second step
add 3 files to ~/sugar-jhbuild/config/sysdeps using the xml for ubuntu
cp 50ubuntu-10.10.xml 50tuquito-4.1.xml
cp 50ubuntu-allversions.xml 50tuquito-allversions.xml
cp 10ubuntu-allversions.xml 10tuquito-allversions.xml

third step
add the next packages to solve dependecies to compile

libgtk2.0-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libxml2-dev libpopt-dev python-dev libtool
intltool python-gconf python-gnome2-dev python2.7-dev python-gtk2-dev
python-gnome2-dev libgnome-desktop-dev libgnomecups1.0-dev libwnck-dev
librsvg2-dev gtk-doc-tools libtelepathy-glib-dev libasound2-dev icon-slicer
xulrunner-dev libcroco3-dev libtelepathy-glib-dev icon-naming-utils shtool
libgconf2-dev abiword espeak espeak-data libabiword-2.8-dev
libtelepathy-glib0 libdbus-glib-1-dev metacity pep8 pylint python-abiword
python-evince python-rsvg python-telepathy python-wnck python-xklavier
telepathy-gabble telepathy-salut xulrunner-1.9.2 python-lxlm y
python-beautifulsoup

forth step:
We have built a package to solve the xulruner problem. Here you can find the
package http://acercadelaeducacion.com.ar/scripts/python_xpcom

with this procedure we are able to compile the sugar from jhbuild in tuquito
(in theory works in ubuntu 10.10 too)

A Question:
I have done this with short knowledge of sugar and with a lot of help from
the local chapter of sugarlabs (sugarlabs Argentina). Our aim would be to
officially reach the support of sugar in Tuquito.

- Which procedure should we follow to be an official distribution for
sugar?

Next Steps
In order to test this version of sugar I have done a script that builds the
package (sugar-jhbuild) and the sugar.desktop in /usr/share/applications.
This script also makes the xssesion to execute the sugar-emulator in full
screen mode. We would also like to make a version of Tuquito and sugar in
which the users could choose the enviroment to start the computer (gnome or
sugar and not the sugar-emulator). Could you explain us how to do this?
You can see the script here

* Cleared of Sugar Learner identity. Starts on color selection screen (Click the <===(back) button to change the Learner name.)

{{Admon/note|
* '''When making a new VM''', to clear the Sugar Journal of old entries and to avoid identity conflicts among copies of the VM, enter the command {{Code|rm ~ rf /.sugar}} in the Terminal activity. Then shutdown the VM. This will clear all Learner information on the VM and let you start with a fresh install. Skipping this will result in collisions in the Neighborhood view of the Jabber network between separate copies of the appliance. Verify the presence of the '''.sugar''' directory by entering {{Code|ls -a}} in Terminal.
* '''When cloning a customized VM''', in order to keep the Journal and installed .xo Activities, use {{Code|rm ~/.sugar/default/owner.key*}} in the Sugar Terminal, and then shutdown the VM. This leaves the Journal entries and removes only the previous Learner's identity key files.}}

*Note1:Use the latest version of Oracle VM VirtualBox (3.2_10.8-64453 or later). Some appliances have multiple hard disc controllers and the earlier Sun VirtualBox 3.1 version does not support them.
*Note2: All appliances were built on a MacBook Air with Oracle VM VirtualBox (3.2.10-r66523) then tested on a Ubuntu installation on an Acer Aspire One Netbook imported into VirtualBox (3.2.10 r66523)

====Sugar Clone====
: '''customize or duplicate Live USB installations'''
: (script files for making a customized Live USB installation self-replicating)

* '''Sugar Clone Wiki Page''' [[Sugar on a Stick/Sugar Clone]]

:Update: http://www.mail-archive.com/soas@lists.sugarlabs.org/msg02044.html
:::Rebuild/Refresh a custom SoaS iso from a running stick

=====Possible Use Cases=====
(from Wiki Page)
:'''Curriculum packaging'''
1. A teacher wants to prepare a SoaS image with a custom set of installed Activity bundles or a Journal of Activity instances for an upcoming class term.
2. The teacher modifies their current working image by adding or deleting Activity bundles from their Home view and adding or removing Journal entries with specific content
(such as a Physics model template or Etoys project), even saving distributable ebooks, or bookmarks in Browse Activity instances that are named for specific sets of local web destinations
(a class portal perhaps for deployments lacking Internet connectivity).
3. The teacher scrubs out any personal passwords or other history that should not be shared in the new copies.
4. A fresh or recycled USB stick is inserted into the computer running the customized SoaS image and the SugarClone script is executed.

:'''Full image backup or sharing'''
1. A Learner has modified their environment, perhaps adding Activity bundles and prepared specific instances such as a Activities/Physics simulation.
2. Their modifications include changes to their operating system installed through yum or RPM to obtain some new core functionality.
3. The Learner wants to archive or share this image with friends or for a backup.
4. Personal or private information is scrubbed from the Journal or Browse history and other potential stores.
5. The User creates one or more Sugar Clones.

This method of backup has the advantage that it copies Learner changes to the core operating system as well as the Journal. A LiveOS image using a separate persistent home folder could be partially cloned with either the operating system overlay or home folder without the other should that be desired.
