If you want build sugar by yourself, use [[DevelopmentTeam/Jhbuild/Gentoo|sugar-jhbuild]].
== Installation ==
Otherwise use this overlay.


= Requirements =
At first, setup overlay in layman
 
Overlay demands follow steps
 
* at first setup overlay in layman


  layman --add sugar
  layman --add sugar


* if you use stable profiles (x86 and amd64) change your package.keywords
To install core sugar components (services, window manager, etc.)


  cat <where_your_overlay_is>/profiles/<release>/package.keywords >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
  emerge glucose


* if you use stable portage (before 2.2) and do not want faults in the middle of building process due to bad USE dependencies, change your package.use
To install core activities


  cat <where_your_overlay_is>/profiles/<release>/package.use >> /etc/portage/package.use
  emerge fructose


= Installation =
To install [[0.84/Platform Components|Sugar Platform]]<br>'''NOTE''' In most cases you don't need entirely sugar platform since it's hard to image that Gentoo will be used for regular sugar using, only developing sugar software thus you need only glucose and some parts of fructose like web-activity or terminal-activity.


NOTE: If you've changed package.use file use "-uDN" flags with follow commands.
emerge sugar-platform


To install core sugar components (services, window manager, etc.)
== Releases ==


emerge glucose
Overlay was built and run on x86 and amd64(x86_64) platforms.


To install core activities
* '''Stable release'''<br>To install last stable release use ACCEPT_KEYWORDS ''x86'' or ''amd64''
* '''Development release'''<br>To install last release in development cycle use ACCEPT_KEYWORDS ''~x86'' or ''~amd64''
* '''Git release'''<br>Fetch sources from git repositories. All packages have 9999 version numbers.<br>These packages have ''source'' USE flag to install links to .py sources, so you can keep git repositories in your sources directory and all .py files from /usr will be linked to your sources directory. To use this feature you need
** setup SUGAR_SRC_ROOT environment variable
** `git clone` all packages to $SUGAR_SRC_ROOT, names of subdirectories in $SUGAR_SRC_ROOT should be equal to proper package name
** unmask '9999' packages(you can find full list in ''profiles/package.mask'' in overlay directory)


  emerge fructose
''NOTE'' sugar-overlay uses unstable versions for some packages thus if use stable profile, change your package.keywords
  cat <where_your_overlay_is>/profiles/<release>/package.keywords >> /etc/portage/package.keywords


To install non-core activities
== Runtime environment ==

Sugar packages are being built by [[DeploymentTeam/jhconvert|jhconvert]] and follow its [[DeploymentTeam/jhconvert#Packages|matrix]] of package versions.
