Once upon a time, Seth Nickell <snickell(a)redhat.com> said:
3) The default packages in the package sets (in the comps file) may
not
include any applications that are functional duplicates. In other words,
if the user clicks all the package sets in the installer (other than
everything), they should not end up with two web browsers or two
spreadsheets in the menus. To give a hypothetical example, lets say we
shipped Gnumeric as one of the default apps in the "Office" package set.
In this case
OpenOffice.org Calc should not show up in the menus, even
if the
openoffice.org package is installed (presuming we install the
rest of openoffice by default). One way to address this would be to
include a separate "openoffice.org-calc" package that simply installs
a .desktop file.
I understand trying to make things simpler, but I also have a problem
with this. I will sometimes intentionally install multiple things (like
OOo and Gnumeric), with the intention of checking them both out to see
which one I like (or does what I want) better. I install both from the
regular install menu in anaconda; with your rule above, I wouldn't end
up with both in the desktop menus that way.
