That particular package referenced above is in Debian, but not my work, and not directly coordinated with the Sugar packaging. It is a small "dependencies-only" package made by Petter Reinholdtsen for Debian-edu, to help that team include in their "spins" what they consider as Sugar (e.g. it includes etoys even though the activity using etoys has not yet been packaged). Also, the link you provided for that package is showing only a single branch of the package. If you want user-oriented links then please also include the development branch (yes, those pages are identical currently, but the "lenny" branch will most likely see no updates): http://packages.debian.org/sid/education-desktop-sugar Alternatively, a more technical overview of that particular package should be here: http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?package=education-desktop-sugar A technical overview of all actual sugar packages that I have done (and, it seem, will soon be expanded by great help from Ubuntu developers!) in should be here http://qa.debian.org/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (I say "should be" a I can't verify right now - those pages are unreachable to me at the moment) >Education spins [...] >2. Debian. The crew from skoleLinux are working Sugar into their spin. >You can download their latest livecd at >http://www.skolelinux.de/XO-LiveCD/ . You are right that Debian-edu (a.k.a. Skolelinux) is working on including Sugar - but that work is what you referred to in the beginning, the above reference is to a smaller project "on the side" not based on Debian but on OLPC snapshots (so technically based on Fedora) to provide easy demo CDs of Sugar *now*, before the integration work (lead by me for Debian as a whole, and then picked up by Debian-edu) is done. Confusing, yes. Hope I made sense here. Else feel free to ask. Again and again...! It is great work you are doing here, and I can imagine how challenging it is to dive into many communities at once :-) - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkia3N8ACgkQn7DbMsAkQLjw9gCfed6NAno4JXJAAuPceuEIU7BC lfcAoIHf+2uC+sPFryQoO8GKraA/Nanb =TTC1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
