Bill, Stephen, Matt, Kalev - I think we could stand to take another
look
at this. I see two immediate issues:
1) Workstation is set up rather differently to the other desktop-y
products/environments. There's rather an overlap between the
'workstation-product' group and the 'gnome-desktop' group. I'd sort
of
expect the 'workstation-product-environment' env group would include the
'gnome-desktop' group and then another group which pulled in the things
that we want to add that make up the 'workstation product', perhaps?
This is how the other desktop small-p products/environments work -
kde-desktop-environment pulls in @kde-desktop (plus other package
groups) and @fedora-release-nonproduct , xfce-desktop-environment pulls
in @xfce-desktop and @fedora-release-nonproduct, etc.
2) We just don't have a good story for installing extra desktops
post-install any more. The only 'desktop' groups visible in 'yum
grouplist' are the environment groups, but you can't use those because
of fedora-release package conflicts. You can install the 'XXX-desktop'
package groups directly, but these aren't visible in yum's list at all
(I think we stopped making them user-visible when we set up the whole
'environment group' thing on the basis people should just install the
env groups). So you can't install the groups you can see, but you can
install the groups you can't see...
Thanks for the detailed explanation.....
One last thing, should this situation not be resolved by release date it would seem to be
something that deserves mention in the release notes.
