Sugar Live Build is an ISO 9660 installer image that contains an
operating system with all source code ready to use.  Run it as a VM.
(You don't need to rebuild Sugar Live Build).

We have an obsolete and deprecated repository "sugar-build".  Don't
use it unless you have the time to set up the continuous integration
infrastructure it relied upon.  That infrastructure is gone.  Budget
about three weeks and an AWS instance.  ;-)
