References http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2012-April/036464.html http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2012-April/036465.html The general rule for 0.94 and 0.88 repositories is using activities only from [Sweets Distribution] packages and only for Fructose. The rest of activities need to be handled manually, e.g., installing missed dependencies. In other words, 0.94 and 0.88 repositories are restricted in case of activities (in some meaning it was just a proof of the system). Only new system (right now in Factory repository) will cover full cycle (activities [itself] will be handled out of native packages, from Sugar Network). But right now, Factory is not ready for more or less regular usage. So, for regular usage choose 0.94 (or 0.88), avoid updating Fructose activities from ASLO (excluding only pure python and without dependencies) and use them only from [Sweets Distribution] packages. I've updated the Wiki: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/Distributions/Sweets_Distribution#Activities http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Platform_Team/Harmonic_Distribution/1.0/Todo#0.3 Hint: If you download a non working activity from ASLO: Delete it in list view of Home (f3) --right click on it in listing. sudo sh sweets-distribution sync This reinstalls original activities Link: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Network Collaboration Tests Testing-results: Ubuntu 11.10 sweets on http:// shares chat (f8) with fedora14 sweets (f8) on http:// even though f14 has no activities installed.--Satellit 13:45, 10 April 2012 (EDT)
