That is the idea. I have just looked through our meta files.. and they are all full of depends rather than recommends :P Like why should our whole audio install depend on "meterbridge"? I would include krita for sure in that item because there has already been at least one user ask for it. This does mean a bit more testing... I will have to try installing some of these extra packages to make sure they run nice with whatever else we have. We will also have to make sure they show up in the right submenu. The vision of our leader is to include enough to get any job done without including every known software in the repo. We also want the user to be able at system install to just install the workflow/area they are interested in. For that possibility the meta that goes with area should be listed so that someone who wants to add a meta later can do so easily. It is hard thinking of all the possibilities to try to cover. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel

Hmm.. Right. And then that could be done for the other sections as well, like the list of recommended apps that you were talking about (which can also include Krita under graphics, thereby removing the need to include KDE libs beforehand).

There are some ways of installing things that are not on the live session at the end of install... and I am working on an install after the fact setup too. For example, our office section comes empty except gedit and the pdf reader. I want to add a menu item that opens software-center with libreoffice, abiword and gnumeric so that if the user wants it they don't have to search. Just opening software center and searching for "office" makes things a pain to find. If I include the packages we ship, they can be removed as well. According to the man page I can add an apt-url as well. I can't really test it on this system though because your repo is already listed. So gimp-paint-studio already shows if I list it. There are some other apps we would like to be able to add like linux sampler for example that will never be on the ubuntu repos because of licensing issues. (free but not GPL) A general question for everyone: Is there anything in ubuntu policy that prevents us from adding extra PPAs to apt at install time? -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
