~~#* There is only one regular way to build development versions of Glucose projects - sugar-jhbuild, which~~ is ~~far less obvious than the activity development process, i.e., ''creating a sub-environment that includes glucose and all dependencies'' vs. ''checkout glucose project and run it''.~~

'''GNU/Linux distributions'''<br>

Provide Sugar dependencies and, for major distributions, Sugar packages that might be used as-is.

'''Bazaar'''<br>

In cases when Sugar is not packaged or there are no required dependencies, packages will be built on Bazaar. But the major purpose of Bazaar is to be a place to consolidate all Sugar doers' efforts:

* host released sources (so, there is no need in requesting a shell account to upload files to http://download.sugarlabs.org),

* being a universal build farm for binary-based projects,

* support QA workflows when Bazaar packages might be branched, tested, and released.

'''Activity Library'''<br>

Once Bazaar is in service, the Activity Library will be just a catalog of activities, all downloading will happen from Bazaar.
