'twas copypasted from agents and a real-life interrupt
has chimed in for me to fail updating the file contents
as intended :-/
The funny thing is that it never made it to Workstation 8.1...
The goal is to provide a simple and lightweight
webcam app with the LiveCD while handing some more
advanced one under a multimedia checkbox for installation.
The distro description grew package by package
and started resembling a pile of those; let's
finally reorganize it with lists and generally
improve layout (should be no-op otherwise).
See the discussion of the changes in basealt.mk
package lists in preceding commits touching it.
Note that these might have problems being *installed*
together, consider using this list for MAIN_LISTS only
(or providing more feedback).

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*.
