Hello,
Since the design team is using a "design suite", would it be possible to please create a group in comps for the purpose? It would make installation of the design suite much easier for end users.
The alternative is to create a meta package which isn't welcomed.
This[1] is the tentative list of packages.

There appears to be a lot of overlap here with the graphics group (and some with other groups). Perhaps it's best to just expand that group into a more full-fledged design suite?

They are different things: the graphics group is the sum of all packages about graphics, a "design suite" group would be a way for people to install the Design Suite Spin (a collection of "best of breed" apps) if they already have Fedora installed.

Right, but I'm saying that the "Design Suite" group might be more appropriate in all cases.

Yeah. I've *never* found the graphics group to be useful. I almost always only want specific applications, and the categorization isn't as useful as searching. Making a group with thoughtfully-picked choices sounds great.

hello,
Do you mean getting rid of the "Graphics" group and creating a new "Design Suite" group?
Is there a procedure for this? I mean like filing a ticket some place?

I'm confused about the whole conversation. What exactly are you talking about Bill when you refer to creating a new "comps" group?

When you run any other spin than the Design Suite the ability to run "yum groupinstall design-suite" and automatically get *all* the goodies provided by that spin.

Right, it would be (for Fedora 15, *not* 14) renaming the graphics grop to the 'design suite' group, and adjusting the package list appropriately.

Hi,
I'm sorry for going quiet on this. I somehow missed the mail. So, how would we go about this? Should I submit the above mentioned as a feature for F15? Would that be the way to go? I can take over the task too.
Thanks, regards, Ankur

Sounds great to me.
