Hi
Why do you think it keeps coming up?
You are the first for this release.
This is the first release that doesn't have it. ;)
Everything installations are generally a bad idea.
Generally but not always!
In my case, one of the things I'm doing is looking for things that
don't have SELinux policy that need it.
What do you mean by that?
I've been using the 'strict' policy since the 'Targeted/Strict' split
and looking for things to run that will produce avc denied messages.
* Redundancy - While Fedora Core itself is slowing moving towards
providing more packages as part of the Fedora Extras and possibly
doing several different targets the current selection uses multiple
programs that provide the same functionality, browsers or desktop
environments for example and its better for users to use a graphical
tool like pirut and install packages as necessary.
For those of us that run 'rawhide' redundancy is good and it saves
time to have "more than one way to skin a cat" already installed.
Don't you want "everything" tested?
Use yum to install the rest.
'yum install available' doesn't work! try it =;)
* Security, manageability and performance - As more and more
packages are installed on a system the amount of updates and
interactions between the packages that the user has to handle
drastically increases. For users who are using Fedora as a
development system or using it just to learn Linux where the system
serves no other purpose and a high amount of bandwidth is available
this might make sense
You just gave another reason to have a 'everything' option. Plus don't
you want to make it easier for people to test everything? I'll bet
there are things in FC that no one uses and never gets tested.
Use yum.
see above
BTW, what are you doing to get the number of CDs back down to 4?
Not a agreed upon goal AFAIK.
Just another indication of bloat or the need to move more things to Extras.
but for others
users who use it deploy it at various levels the amount of updates
and potential security issues that they have to deal with packages
that they might not even use is a additional burden. Moreover the
additional packages installed might need listen to network
connections by default making the systems potentially more vulnerable
by increasing the attack vector. Additional services enabled by
default also affect performance.
That has nothing to do with whether or not there is a 'everything'
option.
It does. Everything opens up more services.
That for a long time produced bunches of avc denied messages.
thanks for all the good work-- It's looking good.
