 Replying to [comment:2 atodorov]:

 > * Can we separate each activity in its own package? That will ease
 maintenance to some extent and allow users to select activities they
 like.[[BR]]

 Yeah, I think we should have a package for activity. I'm not clear yet
 about how we should be building these rpms. dgilmore script generates a
 spec which unpack the .xo. An alternative approach would be to actually
 build an rpm from the sources (which installs in /usr/share/activities or
 whatever).

 > * Can we put a list of all activities/packages needed so we can keep
 track of them?

 I have a couple of meta git modules up, which will give you a list of
 packages:

 git://dev.laptop.org/users/marco/sugar-core

 I have packages in Fedora 8 for all of these except hulahop and sugar-
 evince. Both rpms are already built in the OLPC-2 branch.

 git://dev.laptop.org/users/marco/sugar-activities

 These are a start, the list will grow but we can start from here.

 Additionally:

  * We need a xulrunner package. Fedora has one in devel, which misses
 pyxpcom. Perhaps for Fedora 8 the easier path is to rebuild the package
 from the OLPC-2 branch in mock and make it available on a custom yum
 repository. Maintaining a xulrunner in Fedora 8 might be a lot work, since
 people would likely start using it outside OLPC.
  * Abiword. We need to get these in Fedora, I'm not sure if uwog is still
 working on that, but I bet he would like help with it.
