Re: Blends naming in the Debian installer
Hi,
I'm simply forward this question to Debian Science. I share Ole's
opinion that it is not sensible to add this umbrella project. We
rather should create dedicated Blends for specific sciences.
The only thing I could imagine would be to put the following tasks
into some "scientific toolset" install target:
statistics
tools
typesetting
viewing
workflow
Kind regards
Andreas.
