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.)
