[Sugar-devel] Greetings from Sugar Labs DC!

[Jeff Elkner]

Hi Alex and James,

Could you please point us toward the current sugar packages for Debian
Buster?  We don't have anyone with the skills at this point to
maintain Debian packages, but we can at least test the current
packages, contribute to filing bug reports and writing documentation.

We are most interested in using sugar on the raspberry pi.  Any help
you could provide to get us started would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
Jeff

Let's work together to create a just and sustainable world!

I believe James Cameron has some current Sugar packages for Debian he may be able/willing to share with you. We are actually in need of someone to take over packaging of the Sugar packages in Debian. Is that something you might be interested in helping us with?

I am helping out a student who has a capstone project of helping Sugar Labs DC to use Sugar on Debian Buster. The GitHub for installing Sugar on Debian Buster has not updated in quite sometime. Since most of the hardware we have (mainly raspberry pi 3B+ and 4) run Debian Buster, I wonder if there is a way to install Sugar on Debian Buster as this will be a huge help with labs and events for our elementary and early childhood education students.
