In Milestone 2 it still worked well, but now we don't even install YaST. I'm sorry, but that's just ridiculous.
I'm not sure 'ridiculous' is a valid choice of word here... consider the various usecases for the minimum server pattern:
* Install a server (obvious) There, it's arguable if you need yast or not... most serious server setups will be using other management tools (puppet et.al)
I'm sorry, but "ridiculous" is entirely appropriate. YaST is the one thing that distinguishes openSUSE from the rest, and we decide not to install it. I call it mind boggling.
* Install a container (nspawn, docker) Yast is just a bloat in there... does not make any sense at all.
Instead of having a pattern that pulls in all the 'garbage' nobody needs in those environments, the minimum pattern targets to get those things up and running, allowing you to extend what you need. That's much easier to achieve than hunting down things you don't want in these setups and trying to eliminate them.
Mind you: the patter is called "Minimum Server Pattern". Minimum sort- of implies that bloat should be left out.
YaST = bloat ? That's a new one to me. Oh well. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.0°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
