You package the activity in .xo format and unzip it
in /usr/share/activities. Then reboot (quick hack) and Sugar
should see
it.
I'd rather unpack in ~/Activities. Also, there is no need to make
a .xo, just use your favorite means of creating a directory.
To restart Sugar, I just log in as root and "killall X". It's
restarted after a few seconds.
.xos are sort of like JARs with additional metadata, some
localization
capabilitiy, and should eventually be able to be signed like JARs.
Oh cool. Is the format described somewhere?
It's just a zip of your activity bundle directory renamed to "*.xo"
Also, what's the typical way of moving code to an XO from a regular
Linux box? scp? USB key? Or what?
When I'm doing a lot of testing I mount the XO with sshfs. Otherwise,
scp.
