* sugar-chroot-0.1 released: see [http://dev.laptop.org/git/users/mstone/sugar-chroot sugar-chroot]

=== Purpose ===
   −
a) bind-mount the X unix socket into the chroot.

''You want to hack sugar. You don't want to fuss around. '''You want sugar-chroot.'''''
b) ssh ''into'' the chroot with X11-forwarding enabled.
  −
c) enable TCP on an X server, e.g. a nested Xephyr.

We're going to try option (3) first.

As excerpted from the '''[http://dev.laptop.org/git/users/mstone/sugar-chroot/plain/README README]''':

There are lots of ways to create appropriate chroots; e.g. by hand, with debootstrap, with mock, etc.
+
sugar-chroot consists of simple scripts. Download and unpack them like so:
 +
 
 +
NV=sugar-chroot-0.1
 +
curl http://dev.laptop.org/~mstone/releases/SOURCES/$NV.tar.xz | tar Zxf $NV.tar.xz
 +
cd $NV
 +
 
 +
To use them, pick a supported distro:
 +
 
 +
DISTRO=debian
 +
DISTRO=fedora
 +
 
 +
To configure:
 +
 
 +
echo $DISTRO > conf/distro
 +
$EDITOR conf/$DISTRO.mk
 +
 
 +
Then run
 +
 
 +
sudo make r/distro
 +
 
 +
to install your chroot.
 +
