It's not just an installer, it also provides a central core for configuring everything.
It's very much what I was arguing for (without knowing it) on Nahant recently.
I don't like everything about it, but I do like that there is one place to look for configuration tools, and I do like that it runs on a Linux console and in X-windows.
I went ahead and did the quick change so that a package named 'system-logos' is acceptable also. Hopefully that should help a bit.Unfortunately, the renaming the package doesn't buy us anything. We have distro's for bastion-logos, gamut-logos, enchant-logos etc etc - all with differently branded/logo'd installers. buildinstall needs to determine which of these we might be building simply from the RPM's we've placed into the RPMS directory and generated the hdlist from, hence using the %{PROVIDES} tag.
Can't we have "system-logos" that everyone, RH/F included, replaces for their own branding>
