Distro packaging guidelines vary, so please don't worry if jhbuild requires twice/half the packages in one distro that it did an another.

==Some general advice==

Line 26: Line 28:

If you're stuck or if you get strange errors, feel free to ask for help on the [[Sugar_Labs/Contacts#irc.freenode.net_channels|#sugar IRC channel]] or the [[Sugar_Labs/Contacts#Developer_Lists|sugar-devel mailing list]]. Don't waste too much time chasing strange problems: usually it's caused by some basic, easy to fix problem. You might also want to check the [http://dev.sugarlabs.org/query?status=accepted&status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&component=sugar-jhbuild bug tracker] to see if it's a known issue.

~~:A:~~

−

~~::<sdziallas> dgd: this can be caused by different packaging policies...~~

~~::<dgd> sdziallas, ergo not a reason for concern, thanks!~~
