I don't really see a big need for that package, as if I chroot to it, I can always manually just add that package when I need it. I prefer having the base set as small as possible, as it speeds up the generation of multiple packagaes by each packet not needed. I'd say if somebody REALLY needs vim 'always', he can add it to his own build config and let that package be installed.

The consensus was that we add a -debug switch to have extra packages installed.

Yes, it can be done already now, but there are some more which would be convenient for chroot, and it's all about convenience :). So, the plan was to have such a list to make the usual getpac-build-chroot-fiddle_around cycle easy, so a single switch for the build script (or even when detecting if run from a terminal) makes sense.

I found an undocumented feature of the build script: If you set the BUILD_EXTRA_PACKS env. variable to the list of packages you want to install, it works just like --extra-packs. So you can set this once on shell startup and use 'build' like before. hth, Michal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
