I'd like to have bash-completion included in F-16's default install. In
my opinion it's in a good enough shape for that already now, and with my
upstream hat on I expect things to further improve before F-16 is out.
Why I'm writing here is that I'd like to hear opinions to which
default-installed comps group should it be added (and set as default
there) - in my opinion the serious candidates are admin-tools and base.
admin-tools doesn't sound right because bash-completion is not really
an admin tool (unless one considers interactive shell usage as admin
activity in general), so I'm inclined to add it to base.
Thoughts?
PLEASE do not make a basic-install larger with something what maybe for someone
nice, thats from a user which installs "bash-completion" on each machine after
setup, there are people out there using other shells and the base-setup has to
be as small as possible
it hurts me that cross-dependencies and automatically installed
services gettng larger and larger with every realease
example:
/dev/sdb1 ext4 6,0G 1,8G 4,2G 30% /
this machine is only needed for netatalk, samba and gedit
additionally to 3 admin-guis over X-Forwarding are installed
system-config-users-1.2.107-1.fc14.noarch
system-config-samba-1.2.90-1.fc14.noarch
system-config-lvm-1.1.15-1.fc14.noarch
1.8 GB is really much for that usecase and it was a hard
piece of work to get all away which is not needed
somebody will come out now and telling me that disk-space
is cheap these days without realizing that SAN-Storage is
not cheap, having 20 virtual machines on a host muliplies
the wasted space and the useless time for updates of
packages never really used is forgotten too
it's time to get a solution for soft-dependencies to get
rid of packages with additional functionality possible
not needed and the "everything should work for everybody"
out of the box thoughts are making setups big with a small
benefit for only some peopole while others are frustrated
remember: every package/software/library which is not installed
is not vulnerable!
