Re: About metapackages
Hello,
Do we need to set a level metapackage? I am afraid it may be wrong most
of the time. But maybe something very large as you suggest in your last
idea will not be too bad ;). However concerning the suggestions you
made, I don't like the age range idea.
A random suggestion for the school levels:
Kindergarden
Primary
Secondary
University
About the domains, if it can help, here are the ones listed in the
Freeduc catalog (http://www.ofset.org/freeduc) :
Literature
History
Geography
Second language
Mathematics
Biology
Chemistry
Physics
Sciences
Technology
Documentation
Games
Other
Audio

Low-level may suggest other idea, dont you?
