== jhconvert ==
'''j'''ust'''h'''onest'''convert''' Sugar to distro packages :)
The general idea is collect all distro-independent information in one place to minimize maintenance costs.
The main purpose of this project is helping people to package Sugar for various non-mainstream GNU/Linux distributions.
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===
== Supported distros ==
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 [[Development Team/Jhbuild|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:
Currently supported followed distributions:
* [http://www.gentoo.org/ Gentoo]
* [[Gentoo]]
* [http://en.altlinux.org/ ALT Linux]
* [[ALT Linux]]
* [[Mandriva]]
* [[Magalhães]]
* [[OpenSUSE|openSUSE]]
* [[Ubuntu#Using_sugar_PPAs|Ubuntu]]
== Packages ==
Meta packages to install bunch of sugar components
* '''sugar-glucose''' provides core components
* '''sugar-fructose''' provides core activities
* '''sugar-platform''' provides [[0.84/Platform Components|Sugar Platform]]
