Depending on pygtk was fixed many years ago; we ported to GTK 3. Depending on Python 2 was fixed last year; we ported to Python 3.

It's just a gamble I was unwilling to take. That said, I don't blame James one bit for reaching out directly. I think he's looking for Ubuntu sponsorship here, hence the Ubuntu mailing list. He can correct me if I'm wrong, but at this point in the cycle I think haste is an important expectation, and relying on Debian to do anything in time for the next freeze would be misplaced trust in my experience. I realize there are exceptions, but that's not always something one can count on. I've been down that road before, and it hasn't turned out well. Just my thoughts.

Re: Sugar desktop on Focal
Thanks for answering. Dimitri, I don't know enough about sponsorship to know if this is a request for sponsorship, but previously Debian did package Sugar, and in consequence Ubuntu made it available. That has changed, and I don't know why, but I guess it is because people are too busy. The focal distribution in my repository has these source packages; python3-gwebsockets sugar-toolkit-gtk3 sugar-artwork sugar-datastore sugar-browse-activity sugar-terminal-activity sugar ... at this point an install of Sugar works, and the remaining packages are some of the children's activities ... sugar-calculate-activity sugar-chat-activity sugar-clock-activity sugar-imageviewer-activity sugar-jukebox-activity sugar-log-activity sugar-measure-activity sugar-pippy-activity sugar-portfolio-activity sugar-read-activity sugar-record-activity sugar-stopwatch-activity sugar-story-activity sugar-write-activity ... and more will be added. There's no sugar 2.0.1-1~exp1 that I can find. That's not a version number we've used, so it is probably another software package. Python 2 support can certainly be dropped. (Will cause many children's activity bundles to stop working. So I'm having to support that use of Python 2 myself; not your problem). Erich's assessment is correct. I've lost hope. I'm doing it myself, but I'm not following the standards. I expect the best use of my packaging to Debian or Ubuntu would be a head-start on the build and run-time dependencies. Debian Testing and Experimental has Sugar Toolkit 0.116 and Sugar 0.112, an incompatible combination that doesn't start due missing imports. -- James Cameron http://quozl.netrek.org/ -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel

Apart from that I am both a Debian Developer, who can upload things into Debian with QA and Python team hats, or NMUs, and Ubuntu Core Dev to sync them to Ubuntu simultaneously. Thus can sponsor things from anywhere to anywhere really. -- Regards, Dimitri. -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel

Sugar desktop on Focal
G'day, Thanks for offering to be a "point of contact for upstream developers to reach Ubuntu developers." I'm an upstream developer for the Sugar desktop. Sugar isn't in Focal at the moment, due to Python 3 transition and Debian packages not ready. If any Ubuntu developers would like to fix that, I've a reprepro package repository with enough to get Sugar working well on Focal; http://dev.laptop.org/~quozl/.us/ Hope that can help! -- James Cameron One Laptop per Child -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
