Fedora Core 4 may have just been released, but the Fedora project moves on, as they have started compiling a list of possible features for Fedora Core 5.
This page lists suggestions for the Fedora Project (Fedora Core and otherwise) over the next release of Fedora Core. This is not a final list and it is subject to change.
Trim down core
Packages that provide duplicate functionality in Fedora Core, or that aren't essential to a basic operating system, should move to Extras.
Several ideas exist around this:
*
Main distro down to 1 or 2 discs - its growing too much
*
Main distro down to 1 disk + 1 disk gnome, 1 kde, one java, 1 other stuff
*
All stuff for personal install and the support for the six main languages (en,de,fr,es,??) on the first two CDs. Big stuff like openoffice-lang-support for uncommon langages only in extras?
GUI Package manager and Updater
GUI package manager (replacing system-config-packages) that avoids the synaptic like long list of packages with a better task oriented system that shares the code with Anaconda installer and use Pup Updater for package updating as well as a means to replacing the current applet.
*
Developers: Paul Nasrat, Jeremy Katz
*
Due date: Pup is in the development tree (rawhide), Package manager in planning stages. Package manager may trail anaconda changes (since many of the same dependencies exist)
