Summary
This is the initial release of Sugar Server Kit project. It states the fact that basic ideas and core implementations are settled down.
Conception
Sugar Server Kit is not a final solution for school servers in the filed but rather a set of components that do its work on its own. They might be composed to the final solution basing on particular needs of deployments of distributors.
Read the following documents to know more:
Components
The components that were initiated at that time:
- sugar-server
The deamon that provides basic sugar related services, like anti-thief support or Journal backup. - mace
The mace is a tool to make final configuration using source templates. Mace is supposed to help with configuration of services on Server based school servers. - sugar-server-templates
This component contains configuration templates of basic services that need to be installed and configured on bare servers at school. It is possible to peek at some of these services in a downstream solution to apply using the mace utility. See the demoxo demonstration project for example. - sugaroid
It is a library and application that mimics regular sugar client behaviour to help with testing Sugar Server Kit components and Sugar Server Kit based solutions. - sugar-server-demoxo
This is a demonstration of a Sugar Server Kit based school server solution. It is intended to be run on XO-1 laptops to demonstrate how a Sugar Server Kit based downstream solution might look, but that's only one of the possible ways it might be applied.
