-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey all, This is a continuation of the effort that started with this post: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2009-May/198284.html This little project also found its way to Distrowatch Weekly news (Thanks!): http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20090615#news Since there was an update of the base system to 7.2-RELEASE-p1 a few days ago, it was a good chance to update this ISO and also include some newer packages. The new ISO may be downloaded from here (space and bandwidth courtesy of Glen Barber): http://freebsd.dev-urandom.com/iso/i386/xfce-desktop/7.2-RELEASE-p1-i386-disc1.iso Don't forget to check the integrity of the download using the CHECKSUM / signature files provided: http://freebsd.dev-urandom.com/iso/i386/xfce-desktop/7.2-RELEASE-p1-i386-disc1-iso.CHECKSUM.MD5 http://freebsd.dev-urandom.com/iso/i386/xfce-desktop/7.2-RELEASE-p1-i386-disc1.iso.asc The following tarball contains the options used to build the ports. The ports tree on the ISO is the actual one used to build the packages: http://freebsd.dev-urandom.com/iso/i386/xfce-desktop/options.tar.gz Note: Updated openoffice.org packages (from the same ports tree) will follow soon. Changes from the previous version ====================== - - Wbar was removed. The package would install without problems but did not run. Please install this from ports. - - Some other small apps were introduced. See below. - - Base system was updated to 7.2-RELEASE-p1 - - Ports that use python now use python26. This was not done intentionally, the tinderbox built them that way. It delayed me however as the INDEX file (required in the release process) was still pointing to python25 dependencies and was causing errors. List of main packages ============== This is a comprehensive list of packages included in the ISO: abiword, archivers (zip, unzip, rar, unrar) bash, bluefish, cdrtools, dvd+rw-tools, evince, firefox3, gimp, gnash, gnumeric, gnupg, inkscape, mercurial, pkg_rmleaves, portaudit, portupgrade, rdesktop, rtorrent, ristretto, samba, scribus, sudo, thunderbird, tilda, wget, xfburn, xfce4 + plugins, xorg, zim. Several other packages are included as dependencies of the above top level ones. The total list of packages is 496. There are no conflicts between them, you may even install all of them during the initial setup or afterwards. I will start preparing a server ISO (CD sized) soon. I also welcome all ideas on what to include/exclude in later versions of this DVD. It has been suggested to include openoffice packages as abiword / gnumeric don't cut it for many people. This will increase the size of the download, although hopefully not dramatically as most dependencies are probably already included. I am all open to ideas, so please email me your suggestions and comments. Thanks, Manolis Kiagias -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAko3OA4ACgkQZ/MxGm4PtJRuvgCfYcOTk2whTnOekRqrBMJYjWZ3 tOcAnRF2Y1E14T/zFGOMBJk+v46tz2AN =VfqE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
