It turns out that -regular pulls in too much
(including xfce-polkit that doesn't work with
sysvinit); let's provide means to have it both
ways, need xfce4 4.12-alt5 or later metapackage
for this change to be effective.
Provide both tesseract and its Russian langpack
for Workstation; the proper solution would be to
tweak l10n feature to be able to dynamically
configure things like this given languages
to try and support (not easy though).
These deliver *-preinstall packages (thanks cas@).
Yes, a local sysadmin still needs to actually get
those wares (if they do) but it's less pain when
the libraries needed are in place.
acpi-events-power is clearly unndeed here
(it's rather a distro-level knob), and
powermgmt-base is a bit problematic by now
(e.g. conflicts some of libvirt dependencies
which is a release-blocker for Workstation).
Better options are welcome.
This is to get rid of a "useful" component in default installation
but to keep it available for those who might need it for some reason
(like regulatory one).
Now that we don't ignore X-Alterator-PackageList
in pkggroup files these few places referencing
group names as list names have broke; bring 'em
in line through this new and shiny function.
These mostly come from m-p-d but have been heavily reworked
for the new workstation distro, here's a list of the
typical changes:
- changed X-Alterator-Parent from centaurus-desktop
to a more fine-grained toplevel entry;
- tweaked Categories for the desktop file (e.g. pidgin);
- packages added or removed (like sane to scanning);
- adapted for m-p's biarch support scheme (see emulators);
- renamed more appropriately (for example, 3d -> blender);
- improved descriptions (e.g. by adding specific product
names to groups referencing single-package lists).
Several ones were done from scratch.
NB: lists/groups have been moved into workstation/
and intersynced accordingly.
Make it prefix not suffix so that sorting order
in alterator-pkg is natural instead of chaotic
during installation; turn some implicit "tools"
into explicit ones for consistency either.
Another zerg@'s surprise was the change with amarok,
k3b and ktorrent packages in sisyphus/p8: these have
been changed to use kde4libs/kf5 and KDE3-related
packages have now been renamed to kde3-*.
Handling this without metapackages is more tricky
so do just that.
The problem at hand was that use/x11/xorg has been final,
and zerg@ just couldn't switch from nouveau to nvidia
when kdesktop needs that one.
Initial approach included a "big" FREE/PROP switch that
chose the particular KMODULES/PACKAGES to get added to
THE_* but that fails to achieve e.g. nvidia+radeon combo;
looks like these need individual switches.
Current lxsession would offer to lock screen but will silently
fail within default regular-lxde.iso environment (that does lack
any kind of X screen lock utility); add some.
There were two problems:
- the latest pgsql related groups made installation
impossible (yes, that last minute change);
- hardware testing shows that use/stage2/kms is now
requisite as xorg-drv-fbdev might just refuse to work
with what looks like a perfectly good framebuffer...
Do away with them *quick*.
This is a clone of tagged/server+sambaDC pkglist
with added metadata *and* an installer feature
to make things happen at install time; not sure
if regular-server-samba4 is going away any time
soon though as it's useful standalone too.
Failing to kaboom just in time can make (and has just made)
it harder to figure out the culprit down the road; e.g.
metadata target's tar(1) might fail to find *some* files
that haven't been copied over due to a single one missing
by that run.
This is to support Centaurus-like images featuring
more than a single installation profile (e.g.,
"workstation/server/minimal").
Quite a few more modifications are needed to do it
right though as m-p has fallen prey to exactly the
"single root composition" assumption with its current
THE_* variables semantics and processing.
This might (and probably should) get split into
{base,desktop}+cups somewhere down the road,
maybe when we do print servers again; let's keep
things simple at the moment though, we only need
this for desktop images.
This cp(1) option has been employed already but just for the lists
(and still incomplete as it didn't cover the names coming through
groups mechanism); thanks sem@ for trying out groups/simply/*,
failing to build an image and reporting the problem.
