= Sugar on Ubuntu =
The Sugar (sucrose) packages for Ubuntu provide a Sugar environment that is easy to install and can be configured as an X session in gdm or run in a window with sugar-emulator.
It is a much simpler platform to set up for activity developers, than jhbuild.
== Sugar on Ubuntu 8.04 ==
=== 0.79.0 ===
Sugar was packaged in universe for hardy (Ubuntu 8.04) by Jani Monoses. The version packaged is 0.79.0, similar to the version in OLPC Release 8.1.0.
[http://janimo.blogspot.com/2008/02/sugar-finally-in-hardy-universe.html Installation instructions]
There are extra packages in a [https://launchpad.net/~sugar/+archive/ PPA], including activities that could not be included in the Ubuntu archive due to licence issues, as well as updated abiword packages.
=== 0.81.4 ===
The ubuntu packages were updated to the [[ReleaseTeam/Releases/Sucrose/0.81.4|0.81.4]] Sucrose development release by James Munro in a PPA.
[http://learninglab.lincoln.ac.uk/blogs/jmunro/2008/07/18/day-15-sugar-packages-done/ Installation instructions]
== Sugar on the next Ubuntu release ==
Intrepid, the next Ubuntu release due out in October, should have packages synced from [[Community/Distributions/Debian|debian]]. The ubuntu team will liaise with the debian team to get the appropriate versions synced, either [[ReleaseTeam/Roadmap|0.82]] or an 0.82.x point release if there are any at that stage.
If necessary we can continue to maintain further Sucrose releases via a PPA, after intrepid is released.
