Services that are used within Zero Sugar:
* [http://build.opensuse.org/ OBS], openSUSE Build Service, that is patched to accomplish Zero Sugar needs. OBS will be hosted on SugarLabs servers and accessible from http://refinery.sugarlabs.org site. It will be a central place for all files related procedures like hosting various files, building binaries, providing GNU/Linux distribution repositories for centralized Sugar deployments.

The process departing point is a [[Activity Team/Zero Sugar/0sugar.recipe Specification|recipe file]] which is used within Zero Sugar to accomplish the major task - how to prepare the code to launch.
The Zero Sugar recipe file is an all-sufficient entity. With only the file and {{Code|0sugar}} tool, it is possible to prepare the code necessary to launch in various environments like the major rpm/deb-based GNU/Linux distributions or just launch locally.

The preparation step can be trivial, unless the code requires a building stage. Building might occur:

* When a milestone is achieved, call {{Code|0sugar dist commit}} to create sources tarballs and send them to http://refinery.sugarlabs.org.
* When a milestone is achieved, call {{Code|0sugar push}} to create sources tarball and send it to http://bazaar.sugarlabs.org.
* After that, activity will be accessible for direct usage (via 0install) and for distributors that are eager to deploy it (via native packages).
