--- Begin Message ---Package: tasksel Version: 2.76 Severity: serious Justification: Unsuitable for release While testing a Lenny RC2 preview CD in a "CD1 only, no mirror" installation, I noticed that the File server and DNS server tasks were missing from the list of available tasks during pkgsel. This also means that the CD contains no language tasks at all. It looks like the main reason for this is the recent changes in the gnome-desktop task, which changed its "key" package to 'gnome' from 'gnome-desktop-environment'. Result of this change is that Gnome takes up ~60MB more on CD1 than it used to and thus pushes off other tasks. This can be easily seen by running 'aptitude -R' on a clean system (the difference in the last column is what's relevant here): installed size download size gnome-desktop-environment 787MB 304MB gnome 959MB 368MB IMO this regression in the contents of CD1 should be fixed for Lenny. The only way to do this is to change back to 'gnome-desktop-environment' as "key" package for the gnome-desktop task and make 'gnome' a regular package in the task. This will NOT change the installation of Gnome in any way if a mirror is available or if multiple CDs or a DVD are used. But it will result in CD1 being more generally usable again for installations where that CD is the only available source. Even with that change it still seems to me that Gnome claims too much space on CD1. The gnome-d-e task depends on a number of packages that, although important for a good desktop experience, are not so essential that they need to be on CD1. And I would even say that VNC or webcam support, a VoIP client, or even a CD burner are "required" for a desktop system as users may just not have the hardware or be interested in that functionality. I would therefore suggest to change the following packages from Depends to Recommends in gnome-d-e: - gnome-user-guide (16MB download size!) - vinagre - vino - ekiga - cheese - nautilus-cd-burner Total savings from this suggested list for CD1: 36MB. Possibly some other packages from gnome-d-e's current dependencies could be added to this list. Having them as Recommends would mean they will still get installed if users install gnome-d-e manually and adds flexibility as users will gain the option to have gnome-d-e installed without those packages if they don't need them. To ensure the packages still get installed during a desktop installation using D-I there are two options: - adding them as Depends in the 'gnome' meta-package (preferred IMO) - listing them separately as non-key packages in the gnome-desktop task The main benefit of this reduction will be better international support on CD1 as there will be much more space available for "key" packages from language tasks.
