I see no shortcoming to the splitting, except maybe that if the
default
install brings the meta-package "kdegames", and I want to remove
kdegames-kmines later, yum will tell me that it needs to remove
kdegames-kmines and kdegames. This could scare the user.
Well, kdegames is maybe not the best example here, but I know I was kind of
scared when I tried to remove a component of GNOME and yum told me it needed
to remove "gnome-desktop" with it.
Do you know some resolution for this? Personally I don't think this is a big
issue, but I think you can be right. I thought about it and don't get any good
solution...
BTW I think koffice uses the same approach for now. Maybe
Oo.org too. Many
other distributions uses that way too. If the user knows that there exists
packages, he/she should know that the base package is only a meta-package.
This can be described in the Description field too.
Apart from that, it clearly has advantages, but we need to make
really sure
that the packages are truly independant and work when the others are not
installed.
I already took care of this, they work just fine. I tested every single game
here, but another person doing this to confirm could be very helpful. I
completely agree with "we need to make really sure" on packages. We have to
provide high-quality packages to our users ;) And on this point, IMO, Fedora
Extras is rocking. Keep it up!
Thanks for the feedback.
