Figuring out which comps groups should be defined and where in the comps groups specific packages should go, is non-trivial and requires thought and review. Here's the fascinating bit, in the future when/if anaconda gains support for using arbitrary repos, repos could provide only comps grouping information which provides specialized comps groupings which differ from the comps in Core without providing a single additional package. You could very well see specialized profiles being offered by community which redefine the available groups to offer you some different options. My point is, the catchall "everything" button which has lived as special UI outside of the grouping definitions, is going to be ill-defined in future releases when support for repositories other than Core is exposed in the installer. Instead of trying to layer functionality into the specialized everything install button which tries to figure out if you mean everything in Core or everything in Core+Extras or everything in Core+Extras+other repos... the functionality can be wrapped into how comps is handled with effort. -jef -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
