[Sugar-devel] [SoaS] Running Fedora 20 with Sugar on a Chromebook?

[Sebastian Silva]

Hallo Christoph,
I think sugar-build should work as-is.

In order to save diskspace and ram, and because I found it 
inconvenient, I disabled the fedora chroot (broot).
In order to get all dependencies you should install de Sugar packages 
from the AUR (mantained by cgueret).

Currently I experience smaller icons than normal with the packaged 
sugar. Sugar-build runs fine though. I did have some issues building at 
first but I reported to sugar-devel [1] and those issues seem to be 
gone now (thanks to dnarvaez).

Sebastian
