well, this passes by the fact that
a) comps.xml doesn't have this concept of minimal
why not? Just make a new
group, call it minimal.
b) comps.xml IIRC has a completely different understanding of
"base"
than what I just said (the minimum self-consistent set of packages that
give you bash)
again - call it chroot-base - but the point is the same.
c) there are distros mach is used for that do not have comps.xml
files.
I'm not talking about using the distro provided comps.xml - I'm talking
about using that format for specifying the packages installed in the
chroots.
