Thanks Thomas for the links. It's better that the Making Own Sugar Activities guide is also in epub so that I can read it on my nook :-) I finished going through the class room logs on creating fedora packages and successfully completed the sample package sugar-visualmatc. In https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Sugar_Activities there are two sections as "Fructose Activities" and "Honey Activities". What are they some version names. Is it ok if I try ro package those are in "Honey Activities" section? > Tom Gilliard > satellit_on #sugar freenode IRC > > Thanks a lot Fredrick for your informative reply. > I'll go through the class logs on packing sugar activities for Fedora > and hope to contribute by packaging the activities that are not yet > packaged. > > > -- Best Regards, Kalpa Pathum Welivitigoda http://about.me/callkalpa _______________________________________________ SoaS mailing list SoaS@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas
