So really what i'm leaning towards is in an ideal world we should have a new flag and we probably should just pick one pattern for each of the major desktops and another for "Server / GUI Less" setups. Sitting alongside that add a "Custom / Advanced" checkbox that adds everything that currently has the visible flag so that users who want can still do a detailed setup.
That sounds to me like a path worth exploring. How would that flag be implemented in the patterns? I know there is already a "visible" flag and I assume this will use a similar mechanism. But if I correctly understand the content of [1], the "visible" flag is currently used for the following patterns: - Base System - Enhanced Base System - Minimal Appliance Base - 32-Bit Runtime Environment - AppArmor - SELinux - Tests for the Update Stack - A very basic desktop (previously part of x11 pattern) - Console Tools - Help and Support Documentation - FIPS 140-2 specific packages - Software Management - X Window System Which looks like a pretty arbitrary selection to me. So I can only guess the content of the "visible" flag diluted over time. Cheers.
