[Cooker] Meta-Packages ?
Hi! I thought a bit today and asked me if it could be possible to build meta packages for some tasks. The way I think of : provides: nothing requires: needed packages for several tasks For instance : urpmi kde-desktop would installs a bunch of kde-packages urpmi mandrake-development installs gcc / gcc-c++ kernel-header and so on. urpmi mandrake-simple-desktop could provide an small kde-desktop with only one programm for each task . Would this be worth a thought for maybe 9.2 or so ? WDYT ? Regards Steffen -- counter.li.org : #296567. machine: 181800 vdr-box : 87 Please dont CC me, since if I have replied I'll watch the tread. Both mails will be filtered to the ML-folder. Thanks

I'd support doing this for the devel packages, e.g. bison/flex/gcc/binutils and so on. This has been discussed for several times but nobody is in a position that can take action. GNOME has this already done, as gnome2 package. -- Abel Cheung GPG Key: (0xC67186FF) http://deaddog.org/gpg.asc msg85839/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
