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 KDE spin, here's what I
have for KDE:

KDE contains:
      kde-runtime
      kde-workspace
      kdelibs
      apper
      ark
      bluedevil
      cagibi
      cups-pk-helper
      gwenview
      kamera
      kamoso
      kcalc
      kcharselect
      kcm-gtk
      kcm_touchpad
      kcolorchooser
      kde-baseapps
      kde-plasma-networkmanagement
      kde-plasma-networkmanagement-openconnect
      kde-plasma-networkmanagement-openvpn
      kde-plasma-networkmanagement-pptp
      kde-plasma-networkmanagement-vpnc
      kde-printer-applet
      kde-settings-pulseaudio
      kdeaccessibility
      kdegames-minimal
      kdegraphics-strigi-analyzer
      kdegraphics-thumbnailers
      kdenetwork-kdnssd
      kdenetwork-kget
      kdeplasma-addons
      kdm
      kgpg
      kipi-plugins
      kolourpaint
      konsole
      kruler
      krusader
      ksnapshot
      ksshaskpass
      ksysguard
      ktorrent
      ktp-accounts-kcm
      ktp-approver
      ktp-auth-handler
      ktp-contact-applet
      ktp-contact-list
      ktp-filetransfer-handler
      ktp-kded-integration-module
      ktp-presence-applet
      ktp-send-file
      ktp-text-ui
      kwallet
      kwebkitpart
      kwrite
      okular
      oxygen-gtk
      phonon-backend-gstreamer
      plasma-scriptengine-python
      system-config-date
      system-config-printer-kde
      system-config-services
      xsettings-kde
      xterm

and has the following 'options' available:

kde-apps
      kdeartwork-screensavers
      kdegames
      digikam
      kdenetwork-krdc
      kdenetwork-krfb
      kdepim
      konversation
      twinkle
      krusader
kde-education
      blinken
      kalzium
      kanagram
      kgeography
      khangman
      kiten
      klettres
      ktouch
      kturtle
      kwordquiz
      parley
      step
      marble
      kstars
      kalgebra
      kbruch
      kig
      kmplot
      rocs
      cantor
kde-media
      amarok
      kmix
      dragon
      k3b
      kscd
kde-office
      scribus
      calligra-karbon
      calligra-krita
      calligra
      calligra-braindump
      calligra-flow
      calligra-kexi
      calligra-plan
      calligra-sheets
      calligra-stage
      calligra-words

I welcome any and all sanity-checking/fixing 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 'kde-desktop' environment defines what
groups go into KDE, and which are shown as options, and the groups
referenced there define what packages make them up.

Ideally, once this is firmed up, we can even switch the kickstart in
spins-kickstart to refer to these groups, and retire the old ones. This
way selecting KDE in anaconda for DVD/network installations would provide
the same experience as the Live image where possible.

Thanks,
Bill
