This is the announcement of the source tarballs of the Sucrose 0.86 
release. Now it needs to be packaged for the distributions. Each 
distribution will have another way of packaging (deb, rpm...) and will 
have different ways of updating (yum, aptitude, olpc-update...).

Sugar is the upstream project, that is why I do not add downstream 
distribution notes in the announcements. What would be nice is that 
packagers of each distribution update the wiki instructions for their 
distribution accordingly and send a note to the mailing list to 
encourage testers.

I hope that we will have a new soas snapshot containing the 0.86 for 
testing soon as well.

In the hope that this explanation is of any help,
