Tasksel supports a new "Parent" field now, that makes the display of different tasks look more organized. I guess it would be a good idea if blends-dev added support for it too, so that the "Parent" field plus parent task was automatically inserted into the *.desc file for tasksel. As far as debian-games is concerned, I could imagine the following: * Tasksel could depend on »games-tasks« and all tasks of the Debian Games Blend were available in tasksel. If I added a "Parent" field to all tasks, the menu would look like this one: []... adventure games []... arcade games []... board games and so on. For making it look similar to the desktop environment task, we would need an extra parent task, let's call it »task-games«. [] Debian Games []... adventure games []... arcade games []... board games Then I need to know whether this parent task should be added to tasksel's control file or to the »games-tasks« package. Although the current display is nested it is only one level deep but it really should be collapsible, otherwise we would have 100 different tasks for Blends alone in the top-level hierarchy which is rather confusing for users. I currently don't know how to implement it in debconf and whether this feature could make it into tasksel at all. This is probably the real blocker. * Another alternative might be to add only a reduced set of games related tasks to tasksel, »games-finest« and »games-finest-light« for low-end computers. I think both tasks are most useful if you want to transform your computer into some kind of gaming machine or just to get an overview about some good quality games. I could either provide a patch for tasksel's control file or I could reduce the *.desc file in »games-tasks« to the aforementioned tasks and tasksel would depend on them. Regards, Markus
