Re: About 1st debian CD



Hi again,

I'm talking about semi-official (?) prerelease CD's from:
http://cdimage.debian.org/jigdo-area/
(pre2) and from:
http://cdimage.debian.org/pre-release-jigdo/
(pre1, See http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/2002/18/ and http://lists.debian.org/debian-cd/2002/debian-cd-200204/msg00435.html)

Now I see pre3 in http://cdimage.debian.org/jigdo-area/ and there is anarchy in 1st CD too :( for example now mc-common and gmc are included in 1st CD, but there is no mc package and no xserver (now xfonts-75dpi are included in first CD, this is good, but all kernel-images-2.4.16 are still in 1st CD and maybe because of this full x-window-system does not fit in 1st CD)

See list of packages, included in 1st CD on http://cdimage.debian.org/jigdo-area/3.0-pre3/jigdo/i386/woody-i386-1_NONUS.jigdo
(this is gzipped text file)

In previous prelelease (debian-30pre1-i386-binary-1_NONUS.iso) almost all x-window-system packages were in the 1st CD, why in pre2 most X packages are moved in second CD ?

1. What CD images are you referring to?  The ones on ftp.fsn.hu are
unofficial, as are any other CD images floating around on the net.

OK, I think that full x-window-system is most important (the majority of games, junior and science packages are not usefull without full x-window-system (xserver-xfree86, xserver-common, xfonts-base, xfonts-100dpi, xfonts-75dpi, maybe xfonts-*-transcoded, etc)

Thanks for the tip about the kernel images, this could mean that all of
games, junior and science will end up on the first CD.


I don't know about true Depend (I've not tested, because my debian system is full of packages and I don't know how to make a test without reinstaling OS. Maybe we just need to set the priorities differently for which packages to go on which CD.

Is that actually true do the "Depend" or are you just saying that most
people won't have much use for abiword if they don't have an xserver on
the same machine.

Sorry, I did some manual tests of second CD (with mc) and didn't find any packages that really Depends on packages not from first or second CDs :( Maybe this is my mistake ?
We need to do some automated test to ensure.

second CD contains packages, that depends on other packages that are not in the first and second CD's and so on :(

Could you cite some examples please.
