Design Suite Spin. Inkscape desktop icon link. Necessary?
by Chris Jones 09 Sep '10

09 Sep '10

This was obviously implemented before I jumped on board as a Co-Maintainer of the Design Suite Spin. But why was this little icon link originally implemented and placed on the desktop, I can't really see what purpose it serves in the big picture. How would people feel if we removed it? I'm open to all opinions and views. Regards -- Chris Jones <chrisjones(a)comcen.com.au>

spin kickstart/minimization cleanups
by Peter Robinson 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

Hi All, Firstly sorry for the cross post, I think its some what relevant for both. I started this discussion in the F-13 timeframe but it was too late in the cycle and was considered to risky, leading up to the beta it might be a little close too. Looking through the various kickstart files in the git repo while looking at a couple of issues that I'm seeing on my own spins I have a couple of queries. Firstly in fedora-live-minimization.ks and fedora-livecd-desktop.ks there's a whole lot of removal of packages. This is basically what i do in the fedora-live-mini.ks and I think things like @printing can (and should be) removed from base so that other kick starts don't have to explicitly remove everything that it adds in. Its easy enough for the people that want printing to add the one liner into their own kickstart. There's also a comment in the fedora-live-minimization.ks about removing them from comps for F-14. Is there a reason this hasn't happened? I was also suprised to see things like "printing" related things in the base-x group in comps. It looks like someone had this on their todo list, is it still there? Ultimately I would like to get rid of the fedora-live-mini.ks file and use the mainline base. I believe that base should be exactly that... the base/core packages and all the useful scripting. Then possibly have a base-desktop which adds all the core X stuff that any desktop spin would need (plus associated related scripts that all could make use of like X auto login). From there a desktop based spin would just need to pull in the base-desktop.ks to get all the core stuff to get to a minimal X. Thoughts? Peter
