[Sugar-devel] Initial Release: Sugar packages 0.116 for Arch Linux

[Sebastian Silva]

Okay, I was able to run Calculate from the Git repository.

I suggest you to remove package python3-empy from your release, as it's
a build-time dependency and it seems not to be needed for running Sugar
or activities?

Also the .INSTALL problem with your package seems to be unrelated to
the issue you posted (but explains why you made the package).

Regards,
Sebastian
