And I for Ubuntu 8.10. Preliminary results:

Of the activities packaged for Ubuntu in main and at ppa, I observe
that the following work, except where otherwise noted.

Journal (contents sometimes completely disappear) 99-3
Control Panel
 About Me
 About my XO
 Date & Time (crashes Control Panel)
 Frame
 Language (crashes Control Panel)
 Network
 Power

Analyze
Calculate 25-2
Chat 48-2
Connect (2 player, cannot use) (ppa1)
Develop (ppa1)
Flipsticks 1-0ubuntu1
Logviewer (ppa1)
Memorize (ppa1)
Pippy 25-2
Terminal (ppa1)
TurtleArt (ppa1)


Browse (Web) (does not start)103~git20090120-1
Etoys (fails to start)
jigsawpuzzle (does not start) 3-0ubuntu1
Measure (fails to start) (ppa2)
Newsreader (fails to start)
Pollbuilder (does not start) 17-0ubuntu2
Sharingtest (does not appear) 1~git20071117-7
Sliderpuzzle (does not start) 5-0ubuntu1

Write cannot be installed, due to a dependency problem.

The following .xo bundles install with Xo-get (UI version) and run
correctly in light testing. All others fail to start. Presumably these
that work would be the easiest to package.

SimCity
Xo IRC
Story Builder
Ruler
StopWatch
Distance
StarChart
Analyze
Clock
CartoonBuilder
Exec Command (Python)
Jump
Words
xo-get (command line installation to begin with)
PlayGo
FiftyTwo
Read ETexts (Runs, but no texts)
Frotz (Adventure)
Moon
View Slides (Runs, but no slides)
ImageQuiz


The next step is to look at the logs for the failed packages and file
bugs. Then we can consider missing dependencies for the .xo bundles,
and getting the packaging process moving.
