With the new ejabberd in 0.5 (2.0.1 + Collabora's patches) people have
reported very unreliable Network View listings. The problem seems to
be that everyone disappears after a short while, and if you leave it

I mean slimmed down Fedora (probably shouldn't even call it Fedora at

Michael,
The build was successfully made on both F10 and Intrepid.
How could I slip in a language pack?
How could I set the Timezone for the build?
How could I set the default language for sugar?

Hi, Bert.
Re: does Scratch accept a .sb file on its command line?

The problem is that the journal is changing the file extension to
something like .bin, and Scratch doesn't think a .bin file is a
Scratch project file and simply ignores it.

Not quite, Sugar will not actually pass the file name of the Journal
entry when launching the activity. Instead, it passes the id of a
datastore object, and the activity is supposed to retrieve that from
the datastore. But this retrieval could be done in the Scratch wrapper
script.

Hi, Bert.
Thanks for the help on this.
To clarify, what I was doing was using the clipboard to move a
downloaded Scratch project file. I dragged it from the Journal to the
clipboard, then went to the Scratch activity and dropped it onto the
