Mailinglist Archive: opensuse (2407 mails)

  I was wondering if anyone thought of creating .sel files for the various
types of installs and versions. Some sort of file archive of various types
of installs for networks, workstations with X, workstations without X, 
routers, fileservers, mailservers, ftp servers, http servers, etc.. so
that the .sel files only contain what is necessary to create the various
types of systems I mentioned.
  I think that would be a meaningful project that many of us could
contribute to, maybe have a seperate directory for each version in the
ftp.suse.com server, ie:

  ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/6.3/sel/
  ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/6.4/sel/
  ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/7.0/sel/

kinda like that.
  At one point I started doing something similar myself, following the
SuSE dependencies. So I have various sel files for a samba/mail server, a
firewall and workstations. But how valuable would somethng like this be to
other SuSE users??
  For those of you who don't know what the .sel files are, these are files
that contain listings of all packages to be installed depending on the
system you would like to have installed. Think back to when you first
installed SuSE, you had the options for a KDE system, Gnome system,
network system, base install, etc..
