+This page is for discussion of [[Sweets Distribution]].
-:sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org
-:The Sweets Distribution is already mentioned on SL wiki, but it wasn't publicly announced. So, that's it
-== Summary ==
-:The major purposes for this distribution:
- * If [[Platform_Team/Guide/Sweets_Usage#Sugar_via_Sweets|Sweets]] is
-  more appropriate for personal usage, Sweets Distribution might be
-  useful for Sugar distributors, e.g., special GNU/Linux distributions
-  targeted on Sugar usage;
- ** Some times, it is mostly impossible to have recent Sugar release in
-   not recent GNU/Linux distributions, e.g., LTS releases, and Sweets
-   Distribution will be helpful in that case;
- * Sweets Distribution is only about packaging
-  [[Platform_Team/Guide/Sweets_Usage#Sugar_via_Sweets|Sugar sweets]],
-  thus, it is zero-cost effort; the downside, it is impossible to add
-  Sweets Distribution's packages to official repositories of GNU/Linux
-  distributions.
-:This is a special, only Sugar, distribution. The key points that make Sweets Distribution different to the rest of [[Community/Distributions|Distributions]] are:
- * Sweets Distribution is formed as a 3rd party repository, i.e., it is not regular GNU/Linux distribution;
- * It [[#Releases|supports]] several GNU/Linux distributions at the same time;
- * Packages from these repositories do not interfere with the rest of the system, e.g., it is possible to use Sugar from Sweets Distribution and
- :Sugar from official repositories at the same time.
-== Content ==
- Sweets Distribution contains only Glucose, Fructose and Sugar Platform
- dependencies. The reason to not include more activities:
- * people can install activities at any time,
- * it is easy to support Sweets Distribution based Sugar distribution with including activities that are more appropriate for the current use case.
-== Releases ==
-:All releases are based on {{Code|dextrose/sugar}} sweet and contain pristine Glucose and [[Dextrose]] patches.
-:The following list is a list of Sweets Distribution releases and
-:GNU/Linux repositories they support. The list of supported GNU/Linux
-:distributions is populated entirely on purpose, e.g., Ubuntu packages
-:are being used in [[Community/Distributions/Trisquel|Trisquel]]. Please,
