Rename the confusingly named and descripted 'base' to 'standard'.
Make its purpose more clear, and convert it to a general
infrastructure group.
- i.e. trying to build f18 spins based on the packaged spin-kickstarts
is broken as they pull base not standard (which leads to interesting
things like wireless not working due to missing crda). I've haven't
checked whether that's fixed in git.
It is.
All official Fedora composes are done using spin-kickstarts git, not the
packaged spin-kickstarts. The packaged spin-kickstarts tends to lag
behind git rather a lot because it isn't actually used for anything, so
people rarely bother to update it.
This is a bit of a naughty from a
self-hosting/transparency/reproducibility perspective, we know. Sorry
about that :/ We do usually make an effort to ensure that the
spin-kickstarts package which winds up in the final 'frozen' tree for a
release matches the state of git that was used to build that release,
but we don't usually bother with this for pre-releases. Though we
should, in an ideal world.
So that's a wrist slap for us, and for practical purposes, if you're
doing any kind of Fedora re-spinning, use a git checkout of
spin-kickstarts and pull regularly, do not use the packaged one.
