This is totally vague. GNOME has defined what modules are part of GNOME. task-gnome-minimal doesn't reflect that environment. Yet task-gnome-minimal still exists anyway. It doesn't give you GNOME, it gives you a few GNOME packages. To me the selection is "whatever runs without giving obvious errors messages". > As for your example: when you set up gnome-minimal and after that > install a chat application it should be this application package's > task to draw all necessary dependencies (like gnome-contacts). In my example, I didn't say that another chat application needed to be installed. I said that it is broken *by default*. Chat is integrated within GNOME. But broken in task-gnome-minimal. I don't get the reason behind task-gnome-minimal, so I am not touching this, nor adding a dependency from gnome-shell on gnome-contacts. It is just a random example, I noticed others. I test that task-gnome works, not task-gnome-minimal. -- Regards, Olav
