But what i don't want is a desktop-discussion like at the openSUSE project a few month ago. A second point. In my opinion installing a GUI should not be the standard on a Linux-Server installation. Most servers i work with didn't have monitor, mouse and keyboard or KVM-console connected. Running a GUI by default is a waste of resources. Agreed, no desktop discussion here.
WebYaST on the other hand is very interesting. Our own user- and administration-interface "invis portal" is web based.
Is there any documentation over package content and the pre-configurations that has been made for the invis server? What we have is a documented setup-script and a collection of pre-configured configuration files. We have no written list of installed packages. I think, that i should work this out. I digged a bit into that and read a bit in sine, the install script. Find attached a list packages that get explicitely installed, some
Maybe that could be merged in the very very long run ;-) patterns and from which repos. Later on in the installation process, more packages get installed depending on users choice. I did not investigate that yet. I think our first action should be to strip down the number of used repositories. For that, we should work towards moving most of the stuff to openSUSE:Factory. Only special packages should remain in an invis repo which need to be created. In best case we shouldn't need more repos. Stefan which packages did I miss? Do we really use all repos?
Additional we install some third party software which is not packaged for openSUSE yet. Which are these? Can somebody start over to work on packages?
