1. Simple but ugly solution: Just adding a task 'all' to the currently

Unless the science metapackages will be uploaded again for lenny, this
is moot for the current release.
Yes. BTW - I plan an upload to experimental which builds against the
new blends-dev package (also in experimental). In principle there should
not much problems occure - but the additional metapackages are requiring
editing the override file so we will face a delay for the availability
anyway and I would like to make a "controled move" from all blends
metapackages at the same time and so I use experimental as "sandbox" for
this first. I also would like to wait for the Lenny release before
introducing massive changes.
Effect regarding package creation:
- Closes the bug. Should work so far for science. Has no effect
to other Blends (which might like to build Live-CDs as well).
I think that the automatic solution proposed below is better - but
that you should implement this as a temporary workaround until someone
gets around to implementing the better solution. This gets the problem
off Daniel's back and onto ours - and it is easier for us to do the
work too.
Well, I'm not fully convinced but if Daniel considers the problem as
really urgent I would consider a compromise. On the other hand a simple
$ ls tasks | awk '{ print "science-"$1 }'
science-astronomy
science-astronomy-dev
science-biology
science-chemistry
science-dataacquisition
science-electronics
science-engineering
science-engineering-dev
science-geography
science-imageanalysis
science-linguistics
science-mathematics
science-mathematics-dev
science-numericalcomputation
science-physics
science-robotics
science-statistics
science-typesetting
science-viewing
gives you all science metapackage names and if you include the
output in the live CD building config (or we base a very simple
script which provides the really needed form) a temporary solution
can be found as well.
Unless you plan to release a new version of the science packages in
time for lenny,
I would be really stupid if I would have such plans ... ;-))
then there is no immediate hurry, but we should bear
the pain rather than Daniel.
Sure. I would like to care for means that reduces Daniels pain
to a minimum. We should just decide which means are really reasonable.
Kind regards
Andreas.
