Hello,

I was in the middle of creating a meta package for the
fedora-design-suite. This helps a user to easily install the
design-suite since the meta package pulls in the applications as
Requires:

In the process of creating this, I learnt that a better way of
implementing this would be the creation of a comps group for the design
suite. (Meta packages have certain demerits). Since the design-suite
spin also exists, the comps group would be a convenient thing to have.

I wanted to know what the design team thinks about this. I can take this
up as a task. It will need some discussion on the -devel list. If the
team's okay with this, I'll go ahead and start a thread.

Thanks!

Yes, please create the comps group. Check with the spin maintainers for
the exact list of apps.

I think this is it:

The ones under the "graphics group"

That seems to not be updated (shotwell should be already in, a few other
packagers are not yet reviewed), there should be somewhere (Pierros?)
the kickstart we agreed on at FUDCon.

Hello,

I've mailed the -devel list regarding the group. Here's the first reply:

It would be great if folks could follow the discussion on the -devel
list (or I could communicate the discussion here).

What does the design team say about the above response?
