[Sugar-devel] Debian Advocacy for Sugar - Update - Issues found in Memorize Activity v58

[shaansubbaiah.cs18 at bmsce.ac.in]

 I can submit bug reports, include PR's in them, but I'm not sure how I would submit a PR for upstream changes as there are the extra changes required to be made to get the package working.Perhaps after some success in packaging and testing locally, I'll be able to submit those changes aswell.

The updates are made by the Packaging Team https://salsa.debian.org/groups/pkg-sugar-team/-/group_members

 I thought your project was supposed to be you doing downstream updates when needed.
Who makes the updates?

 Update,
1. sugar-record-activity is v102 in the Debian Archive, and is based on Python2. The latest release in the Sugar Labs GitHub Repo is v201, based on Python3.
2. Similarly, sugar-finance-activity is v12 in the Debian Archive, and is based on Python2. The latest release in the Sugar Labs GitHub Repo is v15, based on Python3.
The upstream changes haven't been pulled in a while, not sure why.

Sure! I’ll look into the other activities and try to find out why they aren’t included.
sugar-etoys-activity is part of the the [contrib] archives as it depends on etoys which is [non-free]. I should be able to install the package after enabling non-free packages in my sources.list. 

Regarding the other activities, I can try my hand at packaging the activities ported to Python3.​   On Saturday, July 11, 2020, 5:04:42 AM GMT+5:30, James Cameron <quozl at laptop.org> wrote:  
 
 Thanks.

Is there anything you can help with to get those three activities
included?  You might first find out why they are not part of the
testing distribution, and see if you can improve the situation.

Is there anything you can do to get other activities included?
