Re: no metapackage for gnome
Here for what it's worth is the set of gnome packages that are currently
in tasksel's desktop task. A gnome metapackage could include more. I
would suggest not going overboard; if the metapackage becomes too big
then it becomes subject to the same problems task packages used to have
where it was easy for them to break if a package was removed from
unstable due to bugginess or whatever. Also, everything in the
metapackage will need to freeze with tasks+standard (assuming tasksel
begins to use the metapackage).
# TODO: we really should have gnome meta-packages, which this
# task could just pull in, rather than having to track all gnome here.
gnome-session
gnome-panel
gnome-control-center
imlib-base
gnome-terminal
gnome-applets
gmc
esound
gnome-users-guide
gnome-help
gdm
gnome-utils
(Gimp is in that list too, but it's not really part on gnome AFAIK. So's
abiword.)
