[Sugar-devel] Bundlebuilder dev command

[Gonzalo Odiard]

I people continue using ~/Activities directory is not a problem, right?

What is the point of move the directory where the activities are installed?
Changing these directories without a good motive _is_ a problem.
Nobody will update the documentation, wiki pages,
tutorials, and development book, then people will be confused.
