So, after reading all different opinions here and discussing with
founders, here is the idea:
We start of with 3 medias: core, nonfree, tainted and 3 debug medias:
debug_core, debug_nonfree, debug_tainted. In order to avoid confusion,
we wont use the name "restricted" as it was used in MDV commercial
products.
[...]
We wont blindly import every package from cooker, instead we'll
start off the import with basesystem (as in bootable system with
shell access), compiler and rpm tools (and of course their buildtime
depencies). When all of that is imported and rebuilt, we have a working
buildsystem / base to build from.
Are you (not specifically you thomas :p) going to check again the basesystem
dependencies/requirements, if i remember correctly the basesystem in mandriva is
not anymore a « real » basesystem ?
Well,
technically it's basesystem-minimal that should be just that: minimal.
but it will be reviewed as everythng else.
Then we to go on with and start importing X, the different
DE's and every other package needed to build a full distro.
Should not each package imported directly by the maintener here (for the DE),
so he's going to import (hopefully ?) only the real requirements so we'll be
able to drop « more » unused packages maybe?
[...]
Can we reach an agreement that this is the way to start the distro?
Sure (even if i'm not followed for the 2 points before :p )
