If a GNU/Linux distribution is not Debian/Fedora/Ubuntu based and there is a lack of human resources to maintain packages, this project could be valuable. How it works The general idea is to collect all distro-independent information in one place to minimize maintenance costs. The process for generating packages is: Fetch dependencies from sugar-jhbuild (native sugar building system) Add distro-independent content like common package dependencies, various strings, urls etc. Use distro-specific templates to generate native packages Supported distros Currently supported followed distributions: Gentoo ALT Linux Mandriva Magalhães OpenSUSE Ubuntu Packages Meta packages to install bunch of sugar components sugar-glucose provides core components sugar-fructose provides core activities sugar-platform provides Sugar Platform Resources Sources
