We already have 3 release sets (desktop, platform, and bindings), and have discussed a fourth (productivity--gnumeric, abiword, etc.). Having an admin suite would just mean defining rules for it (probably would be very similar to the desktop rules) and having modules proposed for it > The source tarballs would be in the same place. Not quite; It'd be http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/<new-set-name>/$MAJMIN/$VERSION http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/desktop/$MAJMIN/$VERSION > So the only difference would be suggested grouping to indicate to > distros how to categorize their packages and/or create a gnome-admin > metapackage? There may be different rules associated with the different sets, but it is possible that it merely serves as a grouping. Also worth note is that there has been talk about trying to "franchise the release process" (on r-t? d-d-l? I don't remember anymore...) in order to try to make our releases feel more inclusive. (As people have pointed out before, "Why aren't Inkspace, GIMP, AbiWord, etc. part of the "official" "Gnome releases"?!?)
