Excerpts from Daniel Drake's message of Fri Jun 18 14:29:39 +0000 2010: > If you wait for Debian you'll likely be waiting a long time. Please note that we're talking about Sugar development (i.e. sugar-jhbuild) on Debian unstable here, which is usually rather current. Native Debian packages to go into a stable release are a totally separate matter.
> My view: don't let it hold back. Make the change, hack jhbuild, and > put pressure on them to push the package updates. If somebody else volunteers to maintain a sugar-jhbuild that replaces major libraries shipped by the distro: go ahead! It will get you into dependency hell and I have neither the time nor any inclination to re-enter it after working hard to get _rid_ of most non-Sugar packages in sugar-jhbuild. As mentioned on IRC, the reason it works well for Gnome is because they replace _all_ the libraries. Apart from raising the bar to using sugar-jhbuild (think disk space, time to build) it requires a lot of effort to keep all packages current.
