[Sugar-devel] Help-21 fails to start

[James Cameron]

Thanks for your interest.

There's no Help-21 yet.  Latest is Help-20.

https://github.com/godiard/help-activity is the most recent source
code, not https://github.com/sugarlabs/help-activity.  The latter is
an informative fork.

There should be no html/index.html file in the repository, as it is a
file generated by building.  The repository is not an activity bundle,
but source code for building an activity bundle.  The instructions to
build the bundle include
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Help/Contribute#How_to_get_freshest_Help_sources,
in particular the dependencies such as Sphinx must be installed, then
use "make html", and the dist_xo target of setup.py

You'll also see that setup.py is quite different to other activities.

I'm yet to make a new release of Help since v20 in 2015, but it is on
my list to do.  In deploying it as v20.1 on OLPC laptops, I maintain a
separate branch, and patch the Sugar version to match what is
installed.

https://github.com/godiard/help-activity/issues has a list of issues.
