Services provides transparency for users and convenience for activity developers across varying platforms (and their varying dependencies) as well as across Sugar releases. Services is a method to support this variety of activity dependencies and variety of dependency versions. In other words, Services is a common deployment system for activity dependencies; it is lightweight like sugargame and like Qt.
Services provides transparency for users and convenience for activity developers across varying platforms (and their varying dependencies) as well as across Sugar releases. Services is a method to support this variety of activity dependencies and variety of dependency versions. In other words, Services is a common deployment system for activity dependencies; it is lightweight like [[Development_Team/Sugargame|sugargame]] and like Qt.
The major difference from existed sugar deployment techniques is that Services has a point of view of the activity developer. It doesn't exclude (because it reuses them) Sucrose releases or GNU/Linux distribution initiatives, but it does give activity developers an additional (optional) instrument.
