I'll be making a fink (Mac OS X) development package of Sugar, right
after they get Gtk+2 dependencies up on par (to >= 2.8). Sometime
this spring.

For the moment, as Dan notes, having a full distro is a waste of
effort.
Having repositories for various Linux distributions including Ubuntu
would be *really* wonderful, so that people can yum install or apt-get
install and update up to date binaries; that would save people time on
builds.
We'd be happy to host these repositories on laptop.org, where we
have a
lot of bandwidth, and happy to help with replicating these
repositories
and our git trees around the world, as I know in many countries
bandwidth to outside the country is limited and very expensive.
Best Regards,

Once you do it, I could test in Virtual PC surroundings (both Virtual
PC and Parallels).
But is a whole distribution really necessary? As a multi-os
developer, and an Ubuntu user, I would appreciate having a debian
package (s.a. "sugar-dev") bring me all that's needed. Have you
considered that route, and why not choose it?

Hey guys, we are thinking of building a new linux distribution
pre-configured w/ all of the development tools for Sugar and Squeak.
The reason for this is that it is fairly complicated to set up
Sugar-jhbuild from scratch and download all the development tools
and documentation. Complicating this picture, broadband isn't a
reality for most developers where we are (Nepal). Building
sugar-jhbuild from scratch will take days across a 56K line.
We have alot of talented open-source developers here in Nepal that
are very interested in contributing to OLPC. We can't give everyone
of them an XO but at least we can help them started on their
existing hardware. We envision that people all over the world could
use this distro for Sugar applications development. We even would
like to eventually build in tools for that non-technical people,
such as teachers, could use the distro to create learning materials.
We intend to hand out CDs of the distro at FOSS meetings and
computer science Departments.
Does anyone know if a similar tool exists? We would like to avoid
duplicating the efforts of others.
Here is the basic description of what we have in mind
http://wiki.olpcnepal.org/index.php?title=Make_A_Distro
We intend to use Ubuntu 6.10 and subsequent Ubuntu releases. We
don't want to get into the business of patch management.
Let me know what you think.
Tentatively we are thinking of calling it XO-Buntu (ZO-buntu) or
Saraswati after the Hindu goddess of knowledge
