Hi,

>  This is the location of the current KS file [1]. 
Ok shall have a good look through, and have a think about things I have
installed on here recently. Is there such a thing as optional packages/
package groups to include with the spin, because there is a list of
dependencies for programs like IDL which if people need to use being able to
install and configure in one go would be simpler?

The only things I can think of are Python based:

spyder
python-matplotlib
NumPy
SciPy

I couldn't see these in the KS file?

So we can't offer a choice on the desktop environment? That's a big shame
because it reduces the usefulness and flexibility of the spin?

I think that they should be part of the @engineering-and-scientific
target. Is there a way to get a full list of all these packages ?

Yes, except for Spyder, allt the other packages are mandatory in the
@engineering-and-scientific group. Please see the f16 comps file [1]
for all the packages which are installed as mandatory in the
@engineering-and-scientific group.

Do you mean to say, that you would like to install just the packages
which are needed for running IDL? If yes, its something which could be
definitely looked into. Also, how do you find, GNU Data languaga [1]?
If you think its pretty decent alternative for IDL, I can include it
in the KS file.

Thanks for your  suggestions. Funny, I think I missed 'spyder'. All
others are included from the @engineering-and-scientific group.

Hmm..I agree. That was my thinking..Once we get the offficial
notification, I will try and see if keeping GNOME3 based spin is
possible or not.
