Long (or, in my dreams, medium) term, I want to see the things that are now "Labs" be instead software bundles that can be installed via GNOME Software and other tools. I think these kind of functional bundles are a better replacement for the old idea of comps (and before that, rpm groups!), and maybe we could use some, like, more modern and more distributed system for assembling those. > <packagereq type="optional">why</packagereq> > <packagereq type="optional">why3</packagereq> > <packagereq type="optional">wise2</packagereq> > <packagereq type="optional">wvs-data</packagereq> > <packagereq type="optional">xdrawchem</packagereq> > <packagereq type="optional">xgap</packagereq> > <packagereq type="optional">xtide</packagereq> > <packagereq type="optional">zenon</packagereq> > > can anyone even guess what package group that is? >From the packages, I guess something sciency? (Cheats...) Yes, Engineering and Scientific. So, exactly something that seems suited to a functional bundle. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
