Bug#758116: tasksel: Allow to select Blends selection during installation - just "DE", "Web server", "Mail server" is NOT enough
Package: tasksel
Version: 3.14.1
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i
Hi,
beeing inspired by bug #758096 (I was asked to separate this topic from
the topic of this bug) and the recent discussion on Blends list, I'd
like to add a pointer to the thread basically starting here:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-blends/2014/08/msg00004.html
Currently we can provide tasksel control files in the following
Blends (packages):
Debian Edu (edu-tasks)
Debian Games (games-tasks)
Debian GIS (gis-tasks)
Debian Junior (junior-tasks)
Debian Med (med-tasks)
Debian Science (science-tasks)
DebiChem (debichem-tasks)
The packages contain a file
/usr/share/tasksel/descs/<blendname>-tasks.desc
and the usual stuff in /usr/share/doc/<pkgname> but nothing else. They
are exclusively designed as tasksel input.
IMHO it would do a nice service to our users to promote these topics on
our installers at the time when tasks will be selected.
Kind regards
Andreas.
