| + | This page is for discussion of [[Sweets Distribution]]. |
| − | :sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org
| |
| − | | |
| − | :The Sweets Distribution is already mentioned on SL wiki, but it wasn't publicly announced. So, that's it
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Summary ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | :The major purposes for this distribution:
| |
| − | * If [[Platform_Team/Guide/Sweets_Usage#Sugar_via_Sweets|Sweets]] is
| |
| − | more appropriate for personal usage, Sweets Distribution might be
| |
| − | useful for Sugar distributors, e.g., special GNU/Linux distributions
| |
| − | targeted on Sugar usage;
| |
| − | ** Some times, it is mostly impossible to have recent Sugar release in
| |
| − | not recent GNU/Linux distributions, e.g., LTS releases, and Sweets
| |
| − | Distribution will be helpful in that case;
| |
| − | * Sweets Distribution is only about packaging
| |
| − | [[Platform_Team/Guide/Sweets_Usage#Sugar_via_Sweets|Sugar sweets]],
| |
| − | thus, it is zero-cost effort; the downside, it is impossible to add
| |
| − | Sweets Distribution's packages to official repositories of GNU/Linux
| |
| − | distributions.
| |
| − | :This is a special, only Sugar, distribution. The key points that make Sweets Distribution different to the rest of [[Community/Distributions|Distributions]] are:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Sweets Distribution is formed as a 3rd party repository, i.e., it is not regular GNU/Linux distribution;
| |
| − | * It [[#Releases|supports]] several GNU/Linux distributions at the same time;
| |
| − | * Packages from these repositories do not interfere with the rest of the system, e.g., it is possible to use Sugar from Sweets Distribution and
| |
| − | :Sugar from official repositories at the same time.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Content ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Sweets Distribution contains only Glucose, Fructose and Sugar Platform
| |
| − | dependencies. The reason to not include more activities:
| |
| − | * people can install activities at any time,
| |
| − | * it is easy to support Sweets Distribution based Sugar distribution with including activities that are more appropriate for the current use case.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Releases ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | :All releases are based on {{Code|dextrose/sugar}} sweet and contain pristine Glucose and [[Dextrose]] patches.
| |
| − | | |
| − | :The following list is a list of Sweets Distribution releases and
| |
| − | :GNU/Linux repositories they support. The list of supported GNU/Linux
| |
| − | :distributions is populated entirely on purpose, e.g., Ubuntu packages
| |
| − | :are being used in [[Community/Distributions/Trisquel|Trisquel]]. Please,
| |
| − | :[[Platform_Team/Sweets/Feedback|submit]] a request if you need more.
