<alsroot> : not all activiites will work, only ones that don't have external deps and are pure python.
this development stage running all activities is not a priority.
it is in early development stage, ping icarito and kaametza, they are developing client side application

Mockups and explanation of Sugar Network screens

Hexoquinasa

Hexoquinasa is a Sugar Distribution based on Harmonic Distribution
developed jointly by SomosAZUCAR and Sugar Labs's Platform Team
in collaboration with the Sugar community.

References

The general rule for 0.94 and 0.88 repositories is using activities only
from [Sweets Distribution] packages and only for Fructose. The rest of
activities need to be handled manually, e.g., installing missed
dependencies.
In other words, 0.94 and 0.88 repositories are restricted in case of
activities (in some meaning it was just a proof of the system).
Only new system (right now in Factory repository) will cover full cycle
(activities [itself] will be handled out of native packages, from Sugar
Network).
But right now, Factory is not ready for more or less regular usage. So,
for regular usage choose 0.94 (or 0.88), avoid updating Fructose activities
from ASLO (excluding only pure python and without dependencies) and use
them only from [Sweets Distribution] packages.
I've updated the Wiki:
    http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/Distributions/Sweets_Distribution#Activities
  • Hint: If you download a non working activity from ASLO:
Delete it in list view of Home (f3) --right click on it in listing.
sudo sh sweets-distribution sync
This reinstalls original activities
