I am starting a fresh with the newer versions of Sugar Packages. * Previously I started with presence service but found to be stuck with Dependency tree. Now I am following the method mentioned below: (The method is based on a bit of trial and errors to actually get all the packages in order). - Started from the package on the root of Dependency tree. (Sugar, available at PPA). - Downloaded the source package from download.sugarlabs.org . (easy step) - Cloned git repository of Jonas' Sugar debian package: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/sugar.git">http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/sugar.git</a> (easy step) -- I needed a proper debian folder (and not to forget the updated one). - Copied the debian folder from repo to the extracted source tarball. (easy step) - Changed the debian/control and control.in files to add the 'Conflicts' and 'Replaces' fields. (new step) -- here is the paste of what I changed: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://paste.ubuntu.com/523095/">http://paste.ubuntu.com/523095/</a> -- NOTE: Check carefully for 'Conflicts' and 'Replaces' for all packages. - Once done with above, updated the debian/changelog (using dch -i) (very easy) -- here is the paste. - Built that package with 'debuild' command. Renamed .orig tarballs wherever applicable. - Checked all the packages for 'Conflicts'. If found, removed the package from the system and then continued installing again. - Unmet Dependencies found. (sugar-base, sugar-toolkit, etc) Repeated process for the Dependencies. I think we are getting close to the solution. The only part we need to be careful of is the changelog, control and control.in files. We also need a test PPA for full testing of the packages. Rest I think is going well with the issue.

The part that might 'feel' wrong is the fact the many of the dependencies are interrelated and some are circular. You will not be able to make a nice checklist and work through the dependencies in a set order. Instead, you will have to tug on lose strings a little bit at a time(by trial and error) until the knot comes undone. david </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
