With the recent discussion about lack of testing etc and the state of the KDE live boot, I would like to propose a set of changes to simplify the live image as we start thinking about F27. The idea is to strip the current bloat to give a more manageable Live Image - while keeping in mind that after you install to HDD, you can install any package you like. Proposal #1: We currently ship 3 browsers in the Live image: * Firefox * Konqueror * Qupzilla I propose that we strip all out except Konqueror. IMHO, Konqueror is the KDE browser - and should feature on the KDE Spin live image. It allows us to keep a simple target of *ONE* working browser that has to meet the blocker requirements. Proposal #2: We currently ship 2 'package managers' (3 if you count PackageKit). I propose we drop kde-discover - and keep dnfdragora (and PackageKit) in the live image. Proposal #3: We currently ship 3 image programs in the live image. Okular & Gwenview as viewers, Kolourpaint as an editor. I propose we drop Gwenview and keep Okular and Kolourpaint in the image. On the same note, are there any other obvious duplication in functionality that we should look to streamline for the F27 release? We probably still need work on automated testing to at least meet the basics of the QA process - ie make sure at least all the apps launch - but I feel the streamline is more important to give us a better target. -- Steven Haigh 📧 netwiz@xxxxxxxxx 💻 http://www.crc.id.au 📞 +61 (3) 9001 6090 📱 0412 935 897
