As the ticket describe, create a object in the Journal
is no longer optional. The change do not break activities,
because the optional parameter is not removed, just ignored.
When is used to clone a activity from sugar,
the options parameter is set to None.
The other uses of no_fail have False as default value
but this case was missing.
The effect of this error is that a .xo is not created in the Journal,
when the user select 'Duplicate' in the View Source window.
When a programmer need open one activity from other [1]
usually need display in the user interface information about the activity
to open, like the name or the icon.
This method allow get this information, previously only available on jarabe.

Historically, distro packagers have been using bunblebuilder, via
"setup.py install", to populate packages directories and files.
The install procedure uses ActivityBundle.install_mime_type to install
custom mime types, by creating symlinks and updating the system mime
types database via the update-mime-database tool.
When ActivityBundle.install_mime_type is executed during packages
creation, the symlinks end-up broken in the final package and the use
of update-mime-database populates the final packages with a new copy
of the database files which could clash with the system copy.
This patch adds a new option, called --skip-install-mime to "setup.py
install" to skip the execution of ActivityBundle.install_mime_type and
avoid the issues mentioned above.
Activity packagers should use this new option. The creation of symlinks
and the execution of update-mime-database should be done in post install
packaging steps.

After add the directory to the IGNORE_DIRS array,
we need make the standard procedure to get the list off files
for the bundle, get_files_in_git honor the configured ignored
files and dirs. That was not a problem until now,
because that files was already not added to git,
but in the case of the screenshots, are included in git,
but we don't want include them in our bundles.
This commit adds the `launch_bundle` function in `sugar3.activity.
activity` which accesses the same function in the shell is over dbus.
This is means the shell process launches the bundle. Activities
should not launch child processes as per the Rainbow security model
[1].

If a translator add a '\n' char in the summary translation
ConfigParser can't parse the linfo file.
Remove them when the file is created and show a message to warning
to the developer.
The BundleBuilder currently crashes on a malformed translation file. This is
good for humans (makes them fix their issues) but crashes bots who need it
compiled and don't care about that single translation file.
This patch adds a --no-fail option which stops the builder from crashing
git version 1.9.3, in a activity directory created inside sugar-build/activities
return a empty string when the command "git ls-files" is executed,
and no repository is configured.
We need verify that condition, and process a file list from the filesystem.
Use set_active and save events to keep track of the time,
in seconds, that the activity is on the main screen. The
time is calculated and stored each time an activity is
open/resumed and closed. Therefore, each activity entry
will have an array of seconds for each time it was used.
This makes a 1 to 1 relationship between the spent and
lauch times. In orders words, we can reflect not only the
"when", but also the " for how long".
Even though this time does not necessarily represents the
real time the user "used" the activity, it is a low-cost
approach for reflecting time.
This is a long requested featured from deployments that have
been using statistics tools on journal metadata, and this
patch is already being used by OLPC-AU.

As part of an effort to "honor" max_participants, this patch supports setting
max_participants in activity.info, thus making it available in the bundle.
By default, if it is not set in the bundle, the previous behavior persists.
In support of this change, a cache of Activity bundles is
maintained. The goal is to eliminate unnecessary calls to the file
system.
Add a new method, called notify_user, to the base
Activity class.
This method can be used by activity developers to
send notifications to the new notification front
end. ie.,
self.notify_user('New High Score!',
'Your score is over 8999')
In some network environments, suspend/reume can make loose
messages and break collaboration. This patch inhibit suspend
when collaboration start. The implementation can be used by activities
or Sugar to inhibit suspend/resume when needed.

./setup.py check now invokes tests in tests/ directory. tests directory should
have integration(UI tests) and unit(unit tests) sub directories, but it isn't
necessary to have any dir. of the above.
If a env variable SUGAR_USE_WEBKIT1 exists,
uses a different module to start the activity using a local webserver,
borrowed from wikipedia activity.
When use webkit1 the web inspector is not enabled, because do not work.

Probably this code was not included in the initial port from gtk2 to
gtk3, because is only used by Sugar, but now we need it.
I changed the way the parameter dist_name is used,
then a complementary patch in sugar is needed
Fixes#4608

This drops a lot of code at the same time. The code in
__init__ was:
* Using a SUGAR_PREFIX environment variable that is not
defined anywhere
* Hardcoding prefix to /usr
* Setting up the sugar-base domain which doesn't exist anymore
The i18n module code was overcomplex because it was thought
for language packs which we don't support anymore, it was
not handling correctly locales with a country prefix, it
was hard coding the python prefix and it was not sorting
the directories as it intended too anyway.
The logic is very simple now. Use the locale directory in
the same prefix sugar-toolkit-gtk3 was installed, unless
SUGAR_LOCALEDIR is defined (for self contained bundles).
Fixes#4603 .
In GTK activities, this is done by _ActivitySession when the activity
unregisters itself, in _complete_close method.
Making the web activity aware of session logout will be handled in
another patch for the shell, see http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/4611
Upon import of uuid, that module uses ctypes.util to find libuuid/libc,
which involves forking a shell process which then forks and runs ldconfig.
ldconfig performs a whole bunch of disk accesses. This is a slowdown.
uuid.getnode() is also documented to be slow. Lets avoid using it in
the activity launch path; we don't need such a high degree of
randomness.
This makes activities launch 1-2 seconds faster on XO-1.
