Hi Randolph, I'm having trouble finding documentation for the task system. Looking at the available file on my machine, I see some packages include a 'Task:' field. Is this something each maintainer has to add to the control file or is it managed using an override file? Are there guidelines for creating tasks? I'm asking because we at debian-beowulf would like to have tasks, parallel-computing and parallel-computing-node. The first one is the set of packages to be installed on a "master node" (development libraries, utilities, daemons) and the second one are those that comprise a runtime environment.
Another question, is tasksel excluded from the freeze? Can the task descriptions be updated? As far as I can see those are stored on a central file. TIA, -- Marcelo | He didn't look mad, but they never did. [EMAIL PROTECTED] | -- (Terry Pratchett, Strata)
