Sugar desktop on Focal

[James Cameron]

Thanks for answering.

Dimitri, I don't know enough about sponsorship to know if this is a
request for sponsorship, but previously Debian did package Sugar, and
in consequence Ubuntu made it available.  That has changed, and I
don't know why, but I guess it is because people are too busy.

The focal distribution in my repository has these source packages;

python3-gwebsockets
sugar-toolkit-gtk3
sugar-artwork
sugar-datastore
sugar-browse-activity
sugar-terminal-activity
sugar

... at this point an install of Sugar works, and the remaining
packages are some of the children's activities ...

sugar-calculate-activity
sugar-chat-activity
sugar-clock-activity
sugar-imageviewer-activity
sugar-jukebox-activity
sugar-log-activity
sugar-measure-activity
sugar-pippy-activity
sugar-portfolio-activity
sugar-read-activity
sugar-record-activity
sugar-stopwatch-activity
sugar-story-activity
sugar-write-activity

... and more will be added.

There's no sugar 2.0.1-1~exp1 that I can find.  That's not a version
number we've used, so it is probably another software package.

Python 2 support can certainly be dropped.  (Will cause many
children's activity bundles to stop working.  So I'm having to support
that use of Python 2 myself; not your problem).

Erich's assessment is correct.  I've lost hope.  I'm doing it myself,
but I'm not following the standards.

I expect the best use of my packaging to Debian or Ubuntu would be a
head-start on the build and run-time dependencies.

Debian Testing and Experimental has Sugar Toolkit 0.116 and Sugar
0.112, an incompatible combination that doesn't start due missing
imports.
