Hi all,
I've spent the last few weeks looking at the Builder source code (thank
you all for your hard work), and I have realised a big issue we have to
deal with immediately.
Builder relies on metapackages created for Ubuntu that do not exist in
Debian. The first metapackage I am having issues with is ubuntu-minimal,
which defines the packages necessary for a minimal Ubuntu install.
Debian has no corresponding metapackage, instead all packages listed as
"important" or "critical" form the basis of a minimal Debian install.
So my question is, how does gNewSense follow? Do we create a metapackage
denoting the necessary packages for a basic install, as Ubuntu does, or
follow Debian and hard code the packages into the installer?
Please answer,
sir123
