That's not my idea, it is just the opposite, any CDD can be included in Debian as a single package that only has dependencies on the cddtool runtime system. Of course if a derived distribution prefers to have it's own repository it can have its description package outside Debian and use the same tools that CDD use, but the idea about Custom Debian Distributions has always been that they should be included on the Debian distribution. > This is different from the current Skolelinux approach - the packages > base-config-skolelinux, cfengine-skolelinux, locale-config-skolelinux > and webmin-ldap-skolelinux is currently in Debian. The CDD Toolkit proposal would do the same, except that all the things related to the CDD Description would be in only one package. Of course that only applies to the description, things that should be packaged separately like a gnome or kde theme would be on it's own package. > So I suggest changing the current definition of CDD (as described at > http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?CustomDebian ) from currently reading > "all extras they offer will either become part of Debian, or are > temporary workarounds" to add "except what is relevant to the CDD only > (selection of packages, unique config tweaks, custom logo and so on)". I believe the definition is right, if it has things outside Debian that are never going to be included then we are talking about a Derived Distribution, that is all, it can use and share almost everything with the Debian Distribution, but it is not 100% Debian. -- Sergio Talens-Oliag <sto@debian.org> <http://people.debian.org/~sto/> Key fingerprint = 29DF 544F 1BD9 548C 8F15 86EF 6770 052B B8C1 FA69
