[Sugar-devel] [sugarlabs/sugar-build] run command showing too many errors and warnings in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (#49)

[James Cameron]

No, the requirement isn't mandatory; there's alternative requirements,
see
https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Summer_of_Code/Template#Miscellaneous

Also, we've since greatly simplified "development environment" to
include native packaged Sugar, which is not a substitute.

On the other hand, candidates need to prove their capability somehow;
sugar-build was once a useful substitute for examinations, and if they
are going to contribute to Sugar through code development it was a good
challenge.

However, our previous candidates are having a lot of problems figuring
out how to fix sugar-build, and this makes;

- the native packaged Sugar environment; and,

- the alternative requirements (pull requests or Sugarizer),

much more useful than before.

In the end, this is up to Walter as responsible contact.
