Comments welcome.  Especially from you, Blizzard, since easily
installable and transferable activities is your baby :)

Dan

I rebuilt sugar today and encountered a problem (a problem I did not
encounter on yesterday's sugar):

When i create an Activity, as explained on the
Sugar_Activity_Tutorial, I cannot complete the last step, "make
install":

> make[1]: sugar-setup-activity: Command not found

...

Before I start debugging, any ideas on what's up?

And this isn't a bug per se, but the little oX guy is no longer in the
middle of the circle... he's kind of sitting in the upper left corner.

Also, is there a revision nomenclature I should use when posting about
sugar other than "today's build"?  Is there a way to ask Sugar which
build number is running?

Thanks.

This is a known problem (http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/77). We're working
on it.

Go to the sugar-jhbuild directory, then type:

./sugar-jhbuild shell

then use that shell to cd to your activity's directory and 'make
install'.  That command sets up the necessary paths.

Yeah, goocanvas now depends on gtk 2.10 :/ I need to make sugar-jhbuild 
build it when not available on the system or something. I'll let you know.

You wrote: 'Each activity bundle must, in its root directory, contain  
a file with the same name as the activity bundle, but ending in  
".info" rather than ".activity"'.

IMHO a fixed name, like "activity.info" would be preferable.

We could then rename the bundle, try different versions etc. without  
needing to touch the inside. Also it would be simpler to script:

	grep default_type *.activity/activity.info

It's common practice as well, like JAR's manifest.mf or OS/X bundle's  
info.plist.

Dan,

I tend to agree with Bert reasoning here.

More comments:

 >These should always be stored in an activity-specific directory in the 
user's sugar profile, available >through the SUGAR_PROFILE environment 
variable

Currently SUGAR_PROFILE is the profile name and the actual profile path 
is ~/.sugar/$SUGAR_PROFILE. We might specify this or have the session to 
export SUGAR_PROFILE_PATH based  on SUGAR_PROFILE.

What is the actual icon filename when looking up the bundle directory? 
$icon + '.svg' or should the field be icon = activity-web.svg in that case?

We also need to specify the icon format (maybe thinking a bit more to 
the css properties and possibly improving them). Something I was 
thinking is that the css should be external, only the class attributes 
should be required in the svg files... librsvg does not support external 
css yet but we can just add the whole css to the svg file after loading.

Do we actually want to make this required? There are activities that 
might not be sharable (terminal for example) or that haven't implement 
sharing yet.

Since it's optional might be worth adding that it defaults to no.

On a second thought... Since no is a special case we should probably 
make yes the default and document it that way.
