Re: CDD-package inside of Debian or out?

I honestly believe you are wrong. Skolelinux is an (almost)
Debian-compliant, tweaked subset of Debian. Adding non-Skolelinux
sources to a Skolelinux APT sources.list (including the Debian superset
mirrored at skolelinux.no) will probably work, but in doing so you are
in fact turning your system into an APT-based Debian- and
Skolelinux-derived bastard.
If we talk about a CDD your sources.list contains a Debian mirror per
the definition given here on this list (and I explained in my previous
mail).
The ideal situation would be that every single peace of SkoleLinux
would be on the Debian mirror and you just install the debian-edu
packages. Alternatively an installer CD is just prepared to install
these packages as default and comes with everything which is needed
on a single CD which is a certain difference to a default first Debian
CD.
Sometimes real live is different from the ideal situation but at least
to my understanding we are working in this direction.
For each choice taken away (or wiped, hidden, suppressed, overruled or
whatever you wanna call it) by a CDD, you are free to put it back again,
but in doing so you release yourself from that aspect of the CDD.
CDD is about suggesting the admin the installation we consider
optimal. It is not about forthing the admin to do something we consider
to be good.
Kind regards
Andreas.
