Re: Changes to the DVD when debian-cd pull in all recommended packages...
[Holger Levsen] am I correct that this is because the DVD only installs packages from the DVD while the CD also installs stuff from the net? Yes, but you miss the reason why it is this way. The DVD is intended to be self contained, to allow for example a school in the savannah in Africa to get a fully working Skolelinux installation even thought there is no Internet connection available. Then my idea would be to also use the network when installing from DVD. We could try to enable network during installation, but it would not solve the goal of making the DVD self contained.

I didnt miss that. We could try to enable network during installation, but it would not solve the goal of making the DVD self contained. True. But it would solve another goal (which I consider implicit): identical installation undependend of the media used. And the DVD could still be self contained without network, but then - for today - the installation would be different. So DVD+net ~= CD+net install, while DVD install != CD+net install. IMO thats better, as the majority of DVD installs has network access. Also I dont think it's possible today anymore, to put 2 archs and 3 desktop environments (of that size) on a single layer DVD. cheers, Holger, wo saw a full linux desktop in 64mb yesterday :) signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Have you tried to come in to the svn with your packages? CipUX was added to the package lists for being on the CD/DVD by Xavier Oswald in 2006 as the debian-edu changelog tells: ---8 [ Xavier Oswald ] * main-server task: - Depend on moodle-debian-edu-theme, moodle-cipux, cipux-all - Recommend moodle-courses-fr, debian-edu-fr-all, debian-edu-fr-skels. These packages contain French data so they are reduce to recommend. - Depend on cipux-common, cipux-cibot, cipux-cat-webmin, cipux-rpc, cipux-profile. These packages come from the cipux repository. ---8 Why not try to come in again? As you can see how GOsa² came in, why didn't you try to do it the same way? Since Im quoted I think I should reply. I was planning to come in again after a future IRL meeting which is planned to be soon with Christian. We want to work ASAP on preseeding cipux and do integration tests with debian-edu. I will come back to the list when I have something working, asking for tests and comments.
