$ urpmq -i gnome2 Name : gnome2 Version : 2.2.0 Release : 1mdk Group : Graphical desktop/GNOME Size : 0 Architecture: noarch Summary : GNOME 2 desktop environment But while we are talking about virtual packages, I would like to know how I can require one of kdebase, gnome-utils, cdialog, Xdialog, or (possibly) zenity. I haven't updated the cursor-themes package because of this. It works well with kdialog (in kdebase), gdialog (in gnome-utils) and Xdialog (which is in contrib), and has a few updated themes, but I don't want to require GNOME users to install kdebase, or KDE users to install gnome-utils ... I think there are probably a few other examples of this ... where we need virtual package names. > With this, installation of software will be easiest for newbies... The > actual problem is that newbies don't know what to install: kdebase, > kdenetwork, .... I wouldn't want a kde meta-package to pull in *all* of KDE though ... and I really don't think most users have problems installing X, KDE or GNOME (since you can't really miss them in the installation). And if you don't have X, I don't see how you would use rpmdrake to install it ... well, at least a newbie.
