As part of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ReworkPackageGroups, I've
been working on redoing some of the groups that make up installation choices
in anaconda. The idea is to offer a simpler interface, where the user simply
selects which environment they want to run in, plus options for that
environment.

Based on what's in the kickstart file for the Desktop spin, here's what I
have for the Desktop:

GNOME contains:
      desktop-backgrounds-basic
      control-center
      dconf
      gnome-panel
      gnome-session
      gnome-shell
      gnome-themes-standard
      metacity
      notification-daemon
      abrt-desktop
      aisleriot
      at-spi2-atk
      at-spi2-core
      avahi
      baobab
      brasero-nautilus
      caribou
      cheese
      deja-dup
      eog
      evince
      evince-nautilus
      file-roller
      file-roller-nautilus
      fprintd-pam
      gcalctool
      gdm
      gedit
      glib-networking
      gnome-backgrounds
      gnome-bluetooth
      gnome-color-manager
      gnome-contacts
      gnome-dictionary
      gnome-disk-utility
      gnome-disk-utility-nautilus
      gnome-documents
      gnome-font-viewer
      gnome-icon-theme
      gnome-icon-theme-extras
      gnome-icon-theme-symbolic
      gnome-packagekit
      gnome-screensaver
      gnome-screenshot
      gnome-system-log
      gnome-system-monitor
      gnome-terminal
      gnome-user-docs
      gucharmap
      gvfs-fuse
      gvfs-gphoto2
      gvfs-smb
      libcanberra-gtk2
      libcanberra-gtk3
      libproxy-mozjs
      librsvg2
      libsane-hpaio
      mousetweaks
      nautilus
      nautilus-sendto
      NetworkManager-gnome
      NetworkManager-openconnect
      NetworkManager-openvpn
      NetworkManager-pptp
      NetworkManager-vpnc
      orca
      PackageKit-command-not-found
      PackageKit-gtk-module
      PackageKit-gtk3-module
      policycoreutils-restorecond
      polkit-gnome
      seahorse
      sushi
      xdg-user-dirs-gtk
      yelp
      firefox
      icedtea-web

and has the following 'options' available:
gnome-apps:
      empathy
      evolution
      evolution-help
      evolution-NetworkManager
      gnome-boxes
      gnome-games
      shotwell
      simple-scan
      sane-backends-drivers-scanners
      vinagre
      vino
gnome-media:
      brasero
      rhythmbox
      sound-juicer
      totem
      totem-mozplugin
      totem-nautilus
libreoffice:
      libreoffice-calc
      libreoffice-draw
      libreoffice-graphicfilter
      libreoffice-impress
      libreoffice-math
      libreoffice-writer
      libreoffice-xsltfilter

I welcome any and all sanity-checking of this, and ideas for
additions/removals. You can open the current F18/F19 comps files and see the
data that makes this up - the 'gnome-desktop' environment defines what
groups go into GNOME, and which are shown as options, and the groups
referenced there define what packages make them up.

Thanks,
Bill
