Package: tasksel Version: 3.14.1 Severity: wishlist Tags: d-i Dear Maintainer, *** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation? * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? * What was the outcome of this action? * What outcome did you expect instead? Debian Installer (through tasksel) allows to tune the software for certain specific use cases, such as Web server, Mail server, Print and SQL server, etc. It would be very nice to have in this list the "Router" option, which will install all the relevant packages and configure them accordingly for the computer to become a router. It should have WiFi support and turn the computer into an Access Point and it should also support DSL and other modems. Motivation: there are a lot of small, low-power computers out there which are intended for 24/7 use (see Utilite, Raspberry Pi, Beaglebone, Olinuxino, etc). Many of them are actually cheaper and much more powerful than todays DSL- WiFi/Routers. So if Debian provides an easy way to configure them as routers/AccessPoints people will get cheap and powerful routers that could be used for a variety of other cases such as home automation, etc. Web UI/GUI for configuration might be nice at some point but its lack should not prevent the feature from being released.
