The rationale for removing wvdial from the LiveCD is given in the logs for the seeds at lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/platform.lucid/:
revno: 1287 committer: Steve Langasek <[email protected]> branch nick: platform.jaunty timestamp: Thu 2009-01-15 04:20:01 -0800 message: move wvdial from desktop-common to supported-hardware-desktop - there's no longer a reason to install it by default without gnome-network-admin. Once the GUI went away it was no longer appropriate to include it as another moving part in the default system install. However, it is still in main as a supported software component, and it's appropriate to add it back into the LiveCD as an optional, installable component, space allowing. (wvdial takes up approximately 920KiB, with its dependencies; so ultimately we'll want to replace this with something smaller that integrates properly with the desktop, but for now it appears we have the space.) ** Package changed: wvdial (Ubuntu) => ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) -- [include in live-cd] wvdial (1.60.1+nmu2) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/400573 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
