=== Use of non-Sugar Platform dependencies in activities ===

The Sugar Platform cannot grow endlessly and components like Qt or OO4Kids are (at least at present) out of Sugar Platform list. But activities can still use such dependencies by installing them from native packaging systems without bundling binaries.
The [[0.86/Platform_Components|Sugar Platform] cannot grow endlessly e.g. installing sugar from packages should not fetch a half of all available packages including several UI toolkits, several programming languages etc., so components like Qt or OO4Kids are (at least at present) out of Sugar Platform list. But with Sugar Services, activities can still use such dependencies by installing them from native packaging systems by demand and without bundling binaries.
