I'll suggest something like the FreeBSD install set selections, except for the top-level profiles ("Developer desktop" etc.), so instead of having all packages in one list, there'd be something like:
[x] core --> [ ] opt --> [ ] xorg -->
Space would select/deselect all the packages, Enter would go into a list similar to the one we have today, listing all the packages in the category.
Wouldn't it be confusing to list xorg as top-level option? We have core, ort and opt/x11 in it... while list it separately. As far as I remember, BSD's have independent Xblah.tgz
- some devs would like to see easier update procedures, to avoid the CD boot/reboot for updates; not discussed in detail either, though interesting and definitely wanted by many
Hmm, I don't think the reboot is necessary other than for booting a new kernel. They could just mount their filesystems with --bind to /mnt and the CD to /mnt/mnt and then do a chroot. Or am I missing something?
May be some long-time running server configurations would not like such tricks...
1. move /etc/rc.d/net to iproute2 The consensus here was that we'll move /etc/rc.d/net to iproute2 for 2.3 but keep shipping net-tools
While on the subject, rc.d entries are by default not rejected, but the net script holds config data. Not a biggie, but a (simple, no extra config files) solution would be nice.
While I like iproute2, shouldn't just shipping it in opt be enough for now? I would also like to see the discussion on services privileges separation, FHS compliance. I used Juergen's ports to make FHS like ports of apache, mysql, vsftpd with opportunity to create separate users for each... It works, so why not? -- Mikhail Kolesnik ICQ: 260259143 IRC: mike_k at freenode/#crux, rusnet/#yalta Jabber: mike_k@jabber.lafox.net NIC handle: MKK83-UANIC
