Package: tasksel Version: 3.20 Severity: important Tags: d-i Hi!
Inspired by the last discussion about default gnome3 in the installer I want to say that now the tasksel itself very inconvenient. During installation, it just offers you with very broadly defined "desktop environment", "web server", "mail server" and etc. You can't choose what DE you want, what mail server you want etc; moreover you can't even know what each option is! I think it renders tasksel nearly useless - I must always uncheck all tasks and install everything manually. Some people said the same in that last discussion. tasksel should offer a selection (submenu?) for each option, at least with most popular packages. For example it's really critical that you should be able to select between KDE, XFCE and gnome3; maybe also MATE and etc. For mail server - at least exim/postfix... And so on. It seems it's a rather simple feature - maybe it's even possible to implement it before releasing jessie? -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: amd64 Kernel: Linux 3.14-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to ru_RU.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages tasksel depends on: ii apt 1.0.1 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.52 ii liblocale-gettext-perl 1.05-8 ii perl-base 5.18.2-2+b1 ii tasksel-data 3.20 tasksel recommends no packages. tasksel suggests no packages. -- debconf information: tasksel/tasks: desktop tasksel/first: tasksel/desktop: xfce tasksel/title: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
