Yeilding tasks like desktop-spanish, etc. This would quickly become hard to maintain, I'd think. > In any case, I've removed the mentioned packages from the CVS until we > decide what is best and how to do it. Actually I would rather we keep them in until we reach a resolution. I'd rather tasksel err on the side of too big rather than on the side of too little and confusing, as a general rule. Another option that's not much better is moving all the mozilla and OOo translation packages from the language tasks to the main tasks. -- see shy jo
