Re: Are follow-up steps for Lomiri desktop required?

… and depending on your goals on the Lomiri side, maybe we could do the
opposite of what I was suggesting earlier: propose something small from
the installer, and let desktop users “upgrade” their systems by pulling
task-lomiri-desktop afterwards if they so chose?

For now, I've decided to go with Lomiri = the real desktop.

ok! Fair enough.

so if that's indeed a hard limitation (and we don't want to touch it),
we might need to renumber things a little.

 - GNOME: 1
 - Xfce: 2
 - GNOME Flashback: 7
 - KDE Plasma: 7
 - Cinnamon: 8
 - MATE: 8
 - LXDE: 9
 - LXQt: 9

A very quick search suggests supporting 10+ values has been left as a
todo item:

    # XXX TODO: support correct sorting when
    # Relevance is 10 or more (e.g. package
    # education-tasks).

so in case that's confirmed to be problematic, moving everyone up (by
how many units is left as an exercise to the reader) from 7-9 to make
room at position 9 for both Lomiri and Phosh should work.

I've prepared a desktop-integration branch:
 - adjusting the description for the tablet one only:
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/tasksel/-/commit/c45ed5a55553da4b8eaeade606ff6182844854cb

LGTM.

 - introducing a test stub to hide the tablet from within the
   installer (only):
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/tasksel/-/commit/4f2f6c350701f9630e646afdae60a946645f7c74

ACK (not sure if I understand this one, but please don't bother explaining)

 - making sure existing desktops stay in the same order while making
   room for new ones:
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/tasksel/-/commit/eaa7aa4f174d5cda48f6ef951efff432d5b8841d

ACK

 - ensuring Lomiri and Phosh are at the bottom:
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/tasksel/-/commit/a966e23d3e140bec3b607f8588a4fd385408599c

ACK

 - documenting what I did:
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/tasksel/-/commit/e0a0bc36375281061956fce59c7d9a35764894f9

This seems to behave as I intended it, see attached screenshots during
(grayscaled) and after installation. (Note that I unmarked all tasks
that had been initially marked for installation, so the empty
selection in the second screenshot is entirely normal.)

This looks awesome! In your screenshot (text mode) you still have Lomiri + Lomiri on tablet. I think we should just have Lomiri (on desktop), as proposed above for now. Having Lomiri more than once feels over-spacetaking...

Would that make sense for Lomiri people? Or would you prefer another
approach regarding the full vs. tablet Lomiri tasks?

No, this looks really good. Go ahead + BIG THANKS!!!!

We still need to hear back from the RT in any case.

Still true.

Hope they agree on having this. It would be a pain with all the work that went into your (and Guido Berhörster's work). Thanks once more, this is much appreciated!!!

Mike
