A part of Telepathy related code was rewritten to try to minimize regressions from Glucose-0.88 code. The goal is to make Shell's Telepathy related functionality the same level stable as it was in 0.88 before total redesigning Telepathy related code.

'''Blacklist ~~activity updater~~'''

'''Blacklist Shell components'''

Sweets Distribution provides ~~Fructose activities~~. The ~~ones that depend on not trivial dependencies~~ should be ~~used only from native packages. To not let Control panel activity updater install new versions of such activities, it looks for black list~~ files in {{Code|/usr/share/sugar/~~activities~~.blacklist}} directory. ~~Files~~ should contain ~~bundle_id values per line. For all these activities, new versions will be ignored~~ in Control panel ~~activity updater~~. ~~The black list might~~ be ~~overridden by~~ {{Code|/usr/share/sugar/~~activities.whitelist~~}} directory ~~files~~.

To make downstream distributing more flexible, Sweets Distribution provides functionality to blacklist usage of particular Shell components. The blocking rules should be place to arbitrary files to {{Code|/usr/share/sugar/blacklist}} directory. The blacklist might be overridden by {{Code|/usr/share/sugar/whitelist}} directory files. Each line in blacklist/whitelist files should contain one rule in format:

Where the {{Code|CATEGORY}} is a type of Shell components and {{Code|COMPONENT}} is an item within the catogory:

* '''cpsection'''<br>Control panel sections, components should be directory names from {{Code|/usr/share/sugar/extensions/cpsection}};

* '''deviceicon'''<br>Device icon, components should be {{Code|.py}} file names from {{Code|/usr/share/sugar/extensions/deviceicon}} directory;

* '''globalkey'''<br>Global key handler, components should be {{Code|.py}} file names from {{Code|/usr/share/sugar/extensions/globalkey}} directory;

* '''updater'''<br>Ignore activities while launching activity updates from ''Software update'' Control panel section, components should bundle_id values. For example, Sweets Distribution might provide Fructose activities, the ones that depend on not trivial dependencies should be used only from native packages.

# Example of blacklist file

updater org.laptop.WebActivity # Depends on broken xulrunner package

cpsection sweets # Downstream distributions do not need it

deviceicon battery.py # Broken on my system

globalkey viewsource.py # Аt the same time...

'''Disabled reusing of system users while registration'''
