stupid idea - metapackages
Hi, all
looking into GNOME i got some (maybe stupid) idea:
what about creating empty packages only to satisfy dependancies and
be able to install loosy related set of packages. Metapackage
seems to be the right name for such creature ;)
for example wmaker_gnome.deb will depends on full GNOME+wmaker,
E_gnome.deb will install E+GNOME,
http_ftp_dns_server.deb will set up apache/wuftp/dns etc.
i.e. you should be able to pick one-two metapackage and
let apt do the dirty job for setting things up
sorry if it was discussed before...
regards
OK
