Bug#543256: tasksel maintainer's perspective
On Thursday 27 August 2009, Joey Hess wrote: So, that change was made in tasksel three months ago, near to the start what was, AFAIK at the time, a 1.5 year release cycle. This was done in full knowledge that enabling recommends would take some time to sort So why did you not inform the d-cd team of that change then? And you also know that historically such issues have in general not been sorted out by d-cd maintainers proper, but more by people like you and me who's primary concern was D-I. out, including getting debian-cd to disable NORECOMMENDS and maybe handle recommends more intelligently; dealing with demotion of unnecessary recommends; and dealing with any size increase issues. If the current release timeframe[1] is not long enough to sort these issues out, perhaps the release team should be told about that. Or perhaps someone will want to revert this -- but you get to own all the issues of the installer not installing recommends while maintainers assume it will. Right, so basically you're saying that you no longer want to explicitly list desired Recommends in tasksel and have decided to do that by simply dumping the problem on another team, while actively working to increase the problem. IMO tasksel is a much more logical place for it. Oddly it didn't seem to be treated as a big deal by a lot of people when it happened to stable CD1. :-/ Agreed. I've been very disappointed with the very long time it took to fix that simple issue. You'll have noticed that I jumped in straight away to help resolve the issue after you filed the BR as I do feel CD1 is important. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Actually, in general we'd have a much easier time of it if we switched our standard practice to always making a branch, freezing *that*, and leaving trunk open.

Also, ispell maintainer has also uploaded ispell, iamerican and ibritish with optional priority (not yet changed in the override file). CC'ing this time #416572 [ibritish: Should not have priority standard]. Sorry, Daniel, forgot to cc before. Are those changes OK in the override file at this time from the debian-installer point of view? Yes, it seems to me that this is the correct time to do this. Fine, I will then request override changes for dictionaries-common as soon as I am in a box with my GPG key. Daniel, do you request changes for the ispell/iamerican/ibritish override entries? Could you please file an important BR against tasksel with the request to update language tasks if/as needed for the change in priority? That way the tasksel maintainers will have a reminder to look into it. Since packages triggering the changes are ispell/iamerican/ibritish (IIRC dictionaries-common is pulled as a dependency) Daniel may prefer to do that himself. If busy, I can do that once the overrides file is changed for ispell/iamerican/ibritish. After looking at current tasks, my understanding of this is that iamerican and wamerican should be added to standard. Can you do that? I thought standard was exclusively a dynamic task that is based on package priority alone. It depends a bit on what you want, but it seems to me this calls for an en_US task. Unless there's a strong desire to have the US dictionaries installed for *all* languages for some reason. I think the same, but as long as is not pulled by priority but by a task, is an improvement. Also note that status of ispell and ispell dictionaries is unclear for the future. There were some discussions about lowering the number of spellchecking engines in Debian, so ispell and its dicts may even disappear or at least be made extra priority in a future. BTW, Agustin: I assume that _w_american remains prio standard? IIRC quite a lot of DDs expressed in past discussions that that should remain available by default for various purposes. That is what I think too. The winning argument is that it contains what previously was in /usr/dict/words, and that is expected to be present from the early days of UNIX systems.

Unfortunately I'm not at all good at these things and my english isn't that great either. I think it should mention that grub2 has support for UUIDs,ext4,lvm and RAID and that it lacks currently password support and savedefault. Or maybe the last part should be left out, so the translations won't need to be updated if we implement it. Ok now that Otavio agreed on IRC that it shouldn't say anymore that grub2 itself is experimental but the d-i support for it, here's a concrete proposal: GRUB 2 is the next generation of GNU GRUB. It has interesting new features like UUIDs, LVM, mdraid and ext4, but it lacks password and savedefault support. Note that the Debian-Installer support for it is still experimental. If you choose to install it, you should be prepared for breakage, and have an idea on how to recover your system if it becomes unbootable. You're advised not to try this in production environments.

Bug#511287: debian-installer: Should have a task for installing KDE or XFCE instead of Gnome
I'm very suprised to see syslinux menus being used to offer a choice amoung desktop environments. This subverts d-i's design principles on several levels: 1. It's a fundamental principle of d-i's UI design that we ask questions using debconf. And the clumsiness of this syslinux menu UI for selecting desktops is a good example of why that was a good design choice[*]. (BTW, we're overusing kernel boot options too these days.) 2. A goal of d-i from the very beginning has been modularity and generallty; this requires a lot of non-modular, and barely maintainable syslinux menu gunk, that only works on i386 and amd64. 3. A goal of d-i from the very beginning has been to try to entice package maintainers to be involved in d-i and responsible for d-i's use of their package, in the knowledge that the d-i team can't do everything themselves. This is why we have udebs, and a passthrough debconf frontend allowing packages interact with the user within d-i. But here d-i is overriding choices made in a package. FYI, it's disingenuous to say Joey made this desision (re tasksel) and we did this to work around him. Firstly, that alienates me from this project. Secondly, I am not some rock that makes pronoucements by fiat that the project is then responsible for working around; and I don't appreciate being portrayed that way. Finally, the argument regarding the problem of forcing user choice of desktop environments stands on its own and has been made by others than me, with similar conclusions, both in Debian and outside. BTW, I am stunned that SuSE is being dragged in as an example of good UI choice. -- see shy jo [*] I suspect I understand syslinux slightly better than the average user, yet I was confused and startled by the behavior of the desktop menu -- choosing a desktop appeared at first to dump me back into the top menu with no action. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
