Talk:Supporting distributions (view source)
Revision as of 23:57, 19 April 2018
, 23:57, 19 April 2018Quozl moved page Talk:Supported distributions to Talk:Supporting distributions: Sugar Labs doesn't support these distributions; it is more that these distributions support Sugar by packaging it for their distribution.
The downside of distributions pages being top level pages is that they (and their child pages) cannot then be collected together automatically. I have added the Community/Distributions SubPage index to [[Supported systems]], to demonstrate a different approach. If the distro-specific material currently in [[Supported systems]] could all be updated into correct distro page, would the resulting [[Supported systems]] page be useful? --[[User:Inkyfingers|Inkyfingers]] 22:29, 29 June 2012 (EDT)

: Yes, temporarily; but please design [[Supported distributions]] to be transcluded in place of the sections mentioned above. Each supported distribution page can also be categorized as such and then collected in a Category page. The Special:PrefixIndex page is useful as an interim list, but suffers because it cannot be formatted, annotated, logo-ized, or reordered, such as by completeness and currency of Sugar support, like the proposed replacement. --[[User:FGrose|FGrose]] 22:49, 29 June 2012 (EDT)

* Why not just link to the Community Distributions wiki pages links shown on the SCK page, [[Sugar_Creation_Kit#Linux_distributions_where_sugar_is_available_are_listed_below:|Linux Distributions where sugar is available]]? Why reinvent the wheel? I feel that this listing on SCK (which is almost all the result of my investigation) is important to be left alone on the SCK page. --[[User:Satellit|Satellit]] 09:25, 30 June 2012 (EDT)
*: Please understand that the wiki allows [[mediawikiwiki:Transclusion]] of whole pages (with some adjustments, which are convenient only for reusing one part of a page). Also note the publishing and maintenance goals to reduce redundancy described in [[Talk:Sugar_Creation_Kit#Split_Sugar_Creation_Kit_page|the call to reorganize the SCK page]]. If [[Sugar_Creation_Kit#Linux_distributions_where_sugar_is_available_are_listed_below:|Linux Distributions where sugar is available]] is the best listing, it can be integrated to serve the full wiki, as in this demonstration, [[Supported distributions]]. --[[User:FGrose|FGrose]] 10:17, 30 June 2012 (EDT)
