I have another idea for comments :) As anyone can tell UbuntuStudio is more audio oriented than any of the other areas we support. With the live DVD we have lost the ability for a user to not install workflows/metas they don't want. As I have found out those metas can be uninstalled after the fact either... well the meta can but the depends stay in the system. So whatever we have on the live DVD goes into the install and is hard to remove after the fact (it has to be done manually and it is easy to remove a package that is depended on by something we wish to keep).
In the STRUCTURE file in our seeds there are two sets of things we could change. I don't know if this would have the effect I expect or not... maybe someone can tell me :) There are three lines: ship, dvd-live and dvd. The dvd-live meta is everything we want to see on the live session. At install time ubiquity looks at dvd and only copies what is there or removes files after install (like itself for example). So it may be possible to have a live dvd with all metas on it, but have ubiquity just install the basic desktop. While installing ubiquity downloads new versions of software, perhaps at that time the metas could be downloaded from the dvd depending on which is selected by the installer (the person installing not the SW :) ). Then also have an extra install item on the main menu with just our metas in it. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
