[Debian-olpc-devel] Sugar 0.90

[Sascha Silbe]

Hi!

There are Glucose packages for Sugar 0.90 now (thanks!), but it seems the activities need to get updated:

  sugar-browse-activity-0.86: Depends: python-sugar-0.86 but it is not going to be installed. or
                                       python-sugar-0.88 but it is not going to be installed.
                              Depends: python-sugar-toolkit-0.86 but it is not going to be installed. or
                                       python-sugar-toolkit-0.88 but it is not going to be installed.
                              Depends: python-carquinyol-0.86 but it is not going to be installed. or
                                       python-carquinyol-0.88 but it is not going to be installed.
  sugar-chat-activity-0.86: Depends: python-sugar-0.86 but it is not going to be installed. or
                                     python-sugar-0.88 but it is not going to be installed.
                            Depends: python-sugar-toolkit-0.86 but it is not going to be installed. or
                                     python-sugar-toolkit-0.88 but it is not going to be installed.
  sugar-read-activity-0.86: Depends: python-sugar-toolkit-0.86 but it is not going to be installed. or
                                     python-sugar-toolkit-0.88 but it is not going to be installed.


Everything that works with 0.88 should work fine in 0.90 as there are no major changes (Read is currently broken, but that's due to evince API changes and thus independent of the Sugar version).

On a related note, I'd like to provide Debian packages of my "version support" fork. [1]
What would be the best approach to do that, in particular regarding naming of packages and handling dependencies?
I already have scripts for building nightly snapshot packages (which I'll post here for review once I'm confident the recently built 0.90 snapshot packages work fine). The version support packages would use the same set of scripts. There'll be no "stable" / "regular" packages, so the version support packages will always be for the latest Sugar version (which can be derived from either the "upstream" version number or the debian/control.in contents pulled from alioth).
