Bill, Stephen, Matt, Kalev - I think we could stand to take another look
at this. I see two immediate issues:
2) We just don't have a good story for installing extra desktops
post-install any more. The only 'desktop' groups visible in 'yum
grouplist' are the environment groups, but you can't use those because
of fedora-release package conflicts. You can install the 'XXX-desktop'
package groups directly, but these aren't visible in yum's list at all
(I think we stopped making them user-visible when we set up the whole
'environment group' thing on the basis people should just install the
env groups). So you can't install the groups you can see, but you can
install the groups you can't see...
Filed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1160917 , which I
think describes the issue fully: you can't install environment groups
which want to pull a different fedora-release-(product) to the one you
already have installed.
I have run some successful tests.
1. Install kde Live Beta-4, booted up and run yum update to get current.
2. Ran yum group install gnome-desktop with no problems. Rebooted
and login to gnome desktop.
Some group installs have a problem. For example, after a Live
Workstation Beta-4 install, try running
yum group install webserver and you get conflicts. If you doyum
group info webserver you will see that it includes
fedora-release-nonproduct and you have fedora-release-workstation installed.
Solution, use yum group install webserver --exclude=fedora-release\*
Now you might believe that yum group list would show all groups ... it
does not. Give the follow a try:
yum group info gnome\*
yum group info kde\*
yum group info xfce\*
yum group info cinnamon\*
yum group info lxde\*
