Sure. You make it sound like I said "let's drop the activity sharing feature, when in fact I was talking about esoteric scenarios, such as a user of i386-fedora10-sugar0.84 who wants to share a *binary* activity bundle with another user running armel-squeeze-sugar0.86. The use cases that work now would continue to work with any package format. Those that do not work now, would at least fail gracefully. In a distant future, we could even come up with good fallbacks for these "what if" scenarios. But I wouldn't recommend complicating the design *for* them. -- // Bernie Innocenti - http://codewiz.org/ \X/ Sugar Labs - http://sugarlabs.org/ _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
