[Sugar-devel] Zero-calorie bundles?

[DancesWithCars]

yes, what is you exec overview/
why are you proposing to discard .xo bundling?
or is this an option?

With the XO 1.5 including a gnome desktop
and just for development purposes,
and environmental running environments
having a broader base
(read multi linux distro and even aspartamine)
and multi windowing systems might be in order,
but why is this 0install.net python solution
worth considering?

FoodForce2 runs from source better on Fedora
without the XO bundling (maybe a porting progress issue)

Learning python/ sugar/ xo development on a desktop is easier.

sugar-jhbuild environment lets me run both environments at once
where virtualization brings my machine to it's knees,

Maybe I'm just a noob on the sugar-devel list, (and not subbed to the
.sf.net list, so not even trying to send there) and expecting more of
a business, case but sell me / us on it, please.

I know there are next gen .rpm build from source like RPath,
and .deb and packaging things, different parts of even the Linux/
*Nix family trees (can you say darwin/*bsd/ why isn't sugar running
native on a mac) are rather territorial, and flame producing reglious
wars, but even a then, why not use some other build from tarball
type approach?
