==Updating Sugar to the Latest Version==
==Updating Sugar to the Latest Version==
What is the recommended process for updating non-OLPC systems, such as Sugar on Ubuntu? Presumably, [[DevelopmentTeam/Jhbuild]]?

:Right now, jhbuild is the only option although perhaps it would be easier to take the source tarballs released by the Sugar team and install them without requiring packaging. For Ubuntu, I would like to see a [https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart PPA] available that gets updated with development releases of Sucrose, but I haven't yet had time to look into that myself. --[[User:Morgs|Morgs]] 09:12, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

::I've not managed to coerce Ubuntu into letting me run the jhbuild version of Sugar rather than the one I installed with apt-get through xsessions. (No problem running it from the cmdline.) Any tips? --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 00:40, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

: This looks generally good to me. My only suggestion is that it be as simple as physically possible. When trying out software, people are programmed to look first for their current operating system (Windows / Mac / Linux), followed by a large Download button. Any longer instructions are sure to confuse and discourage. Good examples include: [http://getfirefox.com], [http://skype.com/], [http://pidgin.im/]. [[User:Wade|Wade]] 16:09, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
:: I have started to pull together a [[downloads|1st pass]] but without the artwork it will be difficult and doing it the wiki will be difficult as well... may these pages have to be static. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 17:19, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
== Distributions' Collaboration sites ==
As this page becomes the more technical reference, we need to ask the distributions to provide links to their source repositories, bug trackers, and other online venues for collaboration. Perhaps the Starch and Sucrose tables could have columns for these links.
We hope that discussions will continue to be shared with sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org --[[User:FGrose|FGrose]] 00:38, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
