* It is ''not'' intended to be used to support large packages (such as Qt or Firefox) that are not included in standard Sugar releases. Sugar Services should not be used to avert scenarios such as ''"It is too bad that you don't have Firefox-3.5 in your three-year-old distribution and cannot run last Browse activity."''' In such cases, we should require that users update their distribution and Sugar Platform to more recent versions.

 

Sugar Services works in parallel with distributions. With Sugar Services, it is possible (and preferable) to reuse native packages when they are available. Sugar Services provides a convenient way to install such packages and thus avert scenarios such as ''"That's really too bad that you don't have Firefox-3.5 in your three-year-old distribution and cannot run last Browse activity, but we cannot package Firefox-3.5 for you, so please update your distribution and Sugar Platform to last versions."''
