[Lubuntu-desktop] package suggestions (and missings)

[神癒礁湖]

I've installed Lubuntu Alpha 2. Here's a list of packages I think must
be included in final distro:

cups (it cannot print!)
osd-notify
gnome-app-install
brasero (xfburn doesn't burn in some LGs)
charmap
gthumb (there's no photo manager)
mirage (light and has no dependencies)
midori (instead of firefox, so we don't use Thunderbird as well)
bittransmission-gui
gnome-mplayer (instead of smplayer, no QT libraries)
listen or audacious (insted of the ugly and difficult aqualung)
update-manager-core (but there're package conflicts)

Do you like it? I think Lubuntu, with these changes,  will not increase
too much its ISO or installation size.

Hi,

Default applications are discussed on separate threads on the mailing
list, and specific wiki pages. 
See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Applications and
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Applications/Process%20Documentation

 cups (it cannot print!)
Fixed for the next alpha.

 osd-notify
It needs composite manager to be really usefull, and openbox is not a
composite manager. Also, having composite support is not really a
priority, it increases needed ressources, and support is not perfect,
especially with old hardware.

 gnome-app-install
It's already deprecated in favor of software-center. However, we already
have synaptic to install packages and new programs.

 brasero (xfburn doesn't burn in some LGs)
Too much GNOME depends.

 charmap
Java depends, and I don't think it's crucial enough to include it.

 gthumb (there's no photo manager)
 mirage (light and has no dependencies)
We have already an image manager : GPicView.

 midori (instead of firefox, so we don't use Thunderbird as well)
Discussion about the browser will begin soon :)

 bittransmission-gui
We already use transmission.

 gnome-mplayer (instead of smplayer, no QT libraries)
Discussion : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Applications/Video

 listen or audacious (insted of the ugly and difficult aqualung)
Discussion : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Applications/MusicAndAudio

 update-manager-core (but there're package conflicts)
Already installed on Alpha 2

Julien Lavergne
