Activity Team/Obsolete/Zero Sugar Use Cases



How Zero Sugar could be useful on examples.

Natively packaged or directly from developer activities?

Zero Sugar could help with optimizing developer-to-distributor-to-user model. For example:

  • developer lets 0sugar create packages for major GNU/Linux distribution on OBS
  • distributors, either using native OBS features (like links and branches) create their own compilations of activities on OBS or just attach/copy OBS packages, compose repositories with activities for end users
  • on end users side, sugar will understand that there are packaged and direct activity instances
  • user(or distributor), by setting policy, can prefer only packaged versions
  • user all time can pick up recent version from developer

Per user Sugar on a stick

Assuming that most of activities use Zero Sugar and activity developers want to support packagers (use Zero Sugar OBS integration), it is possible to create live DVD/USB images on demand just by using OBS web client.
