The major purpose of Sugar distribution is providing a set of releases of tracked projects that are being well tested in particular environment (a set of versioned dependencies). That should help Sugar distributors to deploy Sugar. In ideal situation, they need test Sugar distribution only on their hardware. | |||
There are two types of Sugar distributions: | |||
* Regular, per 6 months, releases that are synced with regular releases of major GNU/Linux distributions. | |||
* Long Term Support (LTS) releases that are synced with LTS releases of major GNU/Linux distributions (if possible). | |||
Having LTS releases should simplify sugar deployments since, in most cases, 6 months is too short major releases cycle. | |||
