#4623 reopened enhancement

improve packaging of activities that rely on system level libraries

Description (last modified by walter)

By way of example:

Tux Math activity v3.1 failed to load in AU build 10 (32010s14).

Logs attached

This is because Tux Math depends on binaries and the ARM version of those binaries was not included for reasons of space. We need some standard mechanism for pulling in system dependencies so that the bundles don't get too large but also we can use libraries in activities that are not standard to the Sugar distributions.

Will be corrected in build SL-19 or later, but raises an interesting question of how should sugar deal with activities that rely on system level rpms to operate.

Replying to JerryV:

Sugar do not have the ability to deal with activities needing not available rpms.
That need be solved by the deployment.
