[Sugar-devel] Greetings from Sugar Labs DC!

[James Cameron]

Hello Christian,

Please install Raspbian Buster, then;

- add to /etc/apt/sources.list file this line;

deb [arch=armhf trusted=yes] http://people.sugarlabs.org/~quozl/rb buster main

- run "sudo apt update",

- run "sudo apt install sucrose",

- run "sudo apt install sugar-{abacus,browse,calculate,chart,chat,clock,develop,finance,findwords,fototoon,fractionbounce,gears,imageviewer,implode,jukebox,letters,log,maze,measure,memorize,moon,music-keyboard,paint,physics,pippy,poll,portfolio,read,record,speak,stopwatch,story,terminal,words,write}-activity"

- choose Sugar for restart by adding a file

  echo sugar > .xsession

- restart the Raspberry pi.

I've not tested in full, but in theory this will get you a working
Raspberry Pi with Sugar using Raspbian Buster.

The Debian image builder isn't working at the moment, and doesn't have
a maintainer, but if someone does work on it the above package archive
will help them finish the job.
