In the past (<=FC6) there was no manifest. Whatever we had inside the RH firewall for Fedora (Core) was on the media. We gave no real thought as to what should be on the media and what should be on the mirrors, we just put it all on. This obviously doesn't scale once we merged core and Extras, as we'd be shipping 3+ DVDs worth of packages for a release. Instead we played around with the idea of multiple targetted spins, like a Desktop spin, a Server spin, a KDE spin, etc.. all with a specific package set, sharing something of a common core. This didn't pan out well, lots of different opinions and ideas as to what should be in those spins, plus lots of overlap with things like the Live images. Instead what we did was a "classic" spin for the installable target that hit the same usage cases as "Core" did in the past. F-7 was the first release using this new method and so there are bound to be some holes in the manifest. It just takes folks like you noticing missing functionality that we feel strongly about having on the media that everybody downloads. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- All my bits are free, are yours?
