Yes, I intend to keep them around.  And sure they will be updated.

New packaging releases are now released of the following:

sugar-toolkit-0.84
sugar-toolkit-0.86 
sugar-toolkit-0.88
sugar-artwork-0.84
sugar-artwork-0.86
sugar-artwork-0.88
sugar-base-0.84
sugar-base-0.86
sugar-base-0.88
sugar-0.84
sugar-0.86
sugar-0.88
sugar-presence-service-0.84
sugar-presence-service-0.86
sugar-presence-service-0.88
sugar-datastore-0.84
sugar-datastore-0.86
sugar-datastore-0.88

(phew, it took all day + preparations done some days ago)


They also now finally contain *now* custom CDBS snippets: All the fancy 
CDBS code has now been incorporated into the main cdbs package.  This 
should make it less confusing to follow the packaging style by simply 
unpacking and looking at the source packages.

If interested in packaging, don't hesitate to ask if something is not 
obvious from just looking at it!

Add this to /etc/apt/sources.list or below /etc/apt/sources.list.d:

   deb http://debian.jones.dk/ sid sugar

I will postpone Squeeze and Lenny backport, then.  Please do remind me 
later if interested in those and too long time passes by without them 
just showing up after adding the appropriate one of these:

   deb http://debian.jones.dk/ squeeze sugar
   deb http://debian.jones.dk/ lenny sugar

Yes, they cannot be installed onto a branch they are not packaged 
against.  That is deliberate.

I will have a look at those now - starting with Browse...

Just try update that sid repository at debian.jones.dk once in a while.  
Whenever I finish packaging something I update that repository.


Kind regards,
