Thanks for the positive feedback!

Was this using 0.82 or 0.84?

I believe the "official" way of adding .xo activities is through the 
Sugar web browser called Browse, which is also available (and known to 
work for 0.82 - might be broken currently for 0.84).

Did you try that?

I won't comment on that, as that is a completely different world than my 
field of packaged software.

great for you and for everyone else flexible in their choice of 
distribution. :-)

Latest Sugar packaging development for Debian is in Debian unstable.

The URL that Sascha Silbe provided earlier links to all packages part of 
Sugar for Debian: 
http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=debian-olpc-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org

I also maintain repositories at debian.jones.dk but nothing there is 
currently newer than officially included in Debian unstable (and, I 
believe, readily available for both mips and mipsel).


Kind regards,

 - Jonas
