This is where I plan to put up a link to the script I am writing to help generate skeleton Sugar activities.

The script will take in the following to create the skeleton:

  • Name of project
  • Location of icon (if applicable)
  • Location of sugar-jhbuild
  • Location to store skeleton

The script will output the following files:

  • autogen.sh
  • configure.ac
  • NEWS
  • README
  • AUTHORS
  • ChangeLog
  • Makefile.am
  • <ProjectName>.py
  • <projectname>.activity
  • __init__.py
  • build.py

The build.py file will be a script that allows easy building and installing of the Sugar activity as one more step to ease the development process for others.

When this script is finished I hope that is removes at least part of the barrier that exists right now for could-be Sugar developers.
