[Sugar-devel] Build farm for binary activities

[Aleksey Lim]

Hi all,

I wonder if it will be useful to have public binary farm for activities
that use binaries. I use several chroots to build GCompris activities
and it could be useful for other developers/uploader as well.

The purposes to have special build farm insted of just bundling existed
binaries:

* if these binaries have simple dependencies(e.g. libc) then it's pretty
  useful to just use already existed blobs(like from binary distros)
  but in case of more complicated dependencies(gst, X, gnome) binaries
  that were built in recent distros will have symbols that are missed in
  previous dependency versions.
  So, activity blobs should be built in as earliest as possible
  environments(of course w/o loosing required features that come from
  new dependency versions)

* some activities use theirs own binaries like Colors!
