I don't think putting every application (package with desktop files) shipped in Fedora into an application installer is a good idea. i.e. you can't just run a script against pkgdb without some sort of manual control and merging different 'wads' of data. We probably might want different data for each spin. I think starting with the distro exploded tree is a good start, but the KDE spin is going to need different "ratings" on each application compared to the GNOME spin. And maybe a different definition of "application" is required for the server spin; that's fine with the app-install schema I'm suggesting. Also, this code exists now. It's ready to go. We've got upstream support from kpackagekit. We've got downstream support from the other distros that are watching us and certainly Ubuntu and Suse are willing to follow suit. This is probably very relevant to FESCo. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
