[ Adding debian-blends mailinglist to the loop ] The first packages.d.o link from above lists these packages (amongst others): pan-tasks: PAN Blends tasks for tasksel electronics-tasks: Debian Electronics tasks for tasksel science-tasks: Debian Science tasks for tasksel multimedia-tasks: Debian Multimedia tasks for tasksel junior-tasks: Debian Jr. tasks for tasksel games-tasks: Debian Games tasks for tasksel debichem-tasks: DebiChem tasks for tasksel gis-tasks: Debian GIS tasks for tasksel med-tasks: Debian Med tasks for tasksel education-tasks: Debian Edu tasks for tasksel fbx-tasks: FreedomBox tasks for tasksel astro-tasks: Debian Astronomy Pure Blend (tasksel tasks) hamradio-tasks: Debian Hamradio Tasks blends-tasks: Debian Pure Blends tasks for new installations These look to me as an early attempt, to allow blends installation from our debian-installer (via tasksel). Is this correct? Since there is a (new) working mechanism for this approach now (via blendsel [1]), the above packages might be no longer needed? Or are they still used? In every case, this approach now might be irritating, since it is based on tasksel, while the new mechanism works via the new blendsel (so completely independent from tasksel) ... I was not aware of these packages, when I developed blendsel, BTW.
