Re: Adding new Activities via RPM

Hi, I think there's a goal of making this just work via inotify or something, so the answer may be "hang on a few weeks". The way that Sugar handles it when you download from the Sugar browser is: from sugar.bundle.activitybundle import ActivityBundle xo = "/filename/that/was/just/downloaded.xo" ActivityBundle(xo).install() When an activity's installed in this way, a dbus message to add the new activity to the the Sugar view is created, as I understand it. For this to be done inside the RPM, we'd need to be: * running as the right user * with the right $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS envvar set and a connection to the session bus * and Sugar running at the time, of course (So Greg's statement about the activities being in the user's homedir isn't the right answer; it's that we tell Sugar about the new activity directly, not that it knows to track changes to a directory.) Given how much hassle it would be to satisfy the bullet points above, letting the Sugar folks know that the inotify idea is something Fedora would like soon is probably the best way forward.
