Modified files:
release/scripts print-cdrom-packages.sh
Log:
Brutally cull the duplicated and the redundant. The purpose of this
file is to provide a *minimum* set of packages which absolutely
should be on CD #1, not to represent the most popular choices by poll.
This means the set of packages which, at 3am in some dark POP, provide
an administrator/user with the most basic functionality required to
get their job done.
If someone would like to make a list of the most popular add-ons, that can
be stored in another location and possibly printed by this script with an
additional flag (-p or something) which indicates you have lots of space
and are looking for minimum + popular packages. By sticking to this
philosophy, we can ensure that "minimum" remains something which can
fit on a single CDROM for a very long time and minimum + popular can
eventually be the DVD target.
This is also why I also made this a script and not a static list of
packages in a text file. It allows the mechanism to be extended in
more divisible and comprehensible Unix-like ways rather than just
lumping everything together and trying to separate it out by hand
later. :)
