== Preamble ==
The main purpose of this project is helping people to package Sugar for various non-mainstream Linux distributions.
If Linux distribution is not Debian/Fedora/Ubunty based and there is lack of human resources to maintain packages, that project could be valuable.
==How it works==
The general idea is collect all distro-independent information in one place to minimize maintenance costs.
Process of generating packages looks like that:
* fetching dependencies from [[DevelopmentTeam/Jhbuild|sugar-jbuild]] (native sugar building system)
* adding distro-independent content like common package dependencies, various strings, urls etc.
* using distro-specific templates to generate native packages
== Supported distros ==
Currently supported followed distributions:
* [http://www.gentoo.org/ Gentoo]
* [http://en.altlinux.org/ ALT Linux]
== Resources ==
[http://sugaroverlay.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/sugaroverlay/jhconvert/ Sources]
