With FC5 on the way and the advent of the repo-aware replacement for system-config-packages (pirut), we're now in a much better position for making it easy for users to gain access to applications. So, you might ask, what can I do to help? Well, if you maintain an application which makes sense for a user to select[1], check out the comps module and make sure that your package is listed in a reasonable group in the comps-fe5.xml.in file. If it's not, feel free to add it using the following as a template if your package were named "foo": <packagereq type="optional">foo</packagereq> If you think there needs to be a new group, please let me know. We'll eventually have the file being automatically updated with each Extras push -- for now, it's a manual process for me to drop the updated file in. Jeremy [1] So, what criteria makes sense here? In general, it's going to be applications which show up in the menus somewhere. Libraries should almost *never* be explicitly listed and instead pulled in via dependencies. Also, most text-mode utilities don't really fit in unless they have a pretty large established user-base. Given that the primary use is with a GUI, selecting a lot of text-mode things make little sense. If you have questions as to whether it makes sense or not, feel free to contact me. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
