New Tasks (was: Re: Where are tasks now and how are they handled?)
#include <hallo.h>
IMO, the current combination of task packages is not very good. We have
too few tasks in the End-User section. "desktop environment" is
unprecise and bloated, OTOH other interessting programs are not
represented by any task. We need following new tasks:
- Desktop environment (Gnome)
- Desktop environment (KDE)
## I am still not sure about splitting "desktop" to GNOME and KDE
- K.I.S.S. X environment
- Multimedia system
- Base Internet client (Console)
- Base Internet Client (X11)
With this package configurations:
Desktop environment (Gnome) [task-desktop-gnome]:
Similar to what we had in the old task-desktop task package in Potato,
including gdm, X11-dependency
Desktop environment (KDE) [task-desktop-kde]:
KDE parts of the current "desktop environment" task
K.I.S.S. X environment [task-desktop-kiss]:
Various small but popular windowmanagers: icewm-gnome, wmaker, blackbox
Editors: jed, gvim, nedit, tkbrief, gimp1.2, wmakerconf, icepref,
emelfm, gv, xpdf, gtk-theme-switch, gkrelm
Multimedia system [task-workstation-multimedia]:
xmms, xmms' plugins and recomended libs (libmikmod), vorbis-tools, mpg321
gqmpeg, xine (and all plugins), aumix-gtk, grecord, grip, gcombust,
gqview, imagemagick, zapping, xawtv
Base Internet client (Console) [task-netclient-console]:
w3m-ssl, telnet, ssh, lftp, yafc, wget, mutt, slrn, irsii, leafnode
Base Internet Client (X11) [task-netclient-x]:
Mozilla (and Galeon), xchat-gnome, ksirc, gftp-gtk, pavuk, prozgui
Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.
