Cc:ing release team since I'm doing relatively large changes to the UNR
seed at this point of the cycle; even if they seem the right thing to
do and what we want for karmic, I prefer giving them a heads up here.
Hey Robbie, Lars,

Yes (we created the UNR seed before computer-janitor was added to the
desktop seed and didn't pick up the change).
Background: We reviewed the UNR seed at our last distro sprint to check
we were not missing any DX stuff, but we didn't review the whole
desktop seed again. Since this review, we are subscribed to the seed
via Launchpad and we review ubuntu.karmic changes for merging into
unr.karmic. We also discussed a long term plan with Colin to have a
common seed for common stuff between Ubuntu Desktop Edition and Ubuntu
Netbook Remix, but this needs some new germinate features to be
developed first (unlike desktop-common we'd like to be able to exclude
some stuff, but not via the blacklist mechanism). Finally, we discuss
desktop technologies integration in the desktop and in UNR weekly in
IRC meetings and phone calls with other teams.
So I've just did a full review of the delta and it was much larger than
I thought. I rearranged the UNR seed so that it's easier to compare
with the desktop seed and did these changes:
- Add (evolution-plugins), (evolution-exchange), and (evolution-webcal) to
match the evolution features on the desktop
- Merge ubuntu.karmic r1551; seed software-store in place of
gnome-app-install
- Add (gnome-codec-install) as we do want this feature when playing media
files under UNR
- Add (transmission-gtk) for bittorrent downloads
- Seed rarian-compat explicitely (but was already pulled anyway)
- Seed pulseaudio-module-bluetooth instead of pulseaudio-module-udev
- Add (gnome-disk-utility) to format USB keys etc.
- Add gnome-session-canberra for login sound
- Add gstreamer0.10-schroedinger for Dirac support
- Update arch list in oo.o, tomboy and f-spot entries
- Add (openoffice.org-help-en-us)
- Add (computer-janitor-gtk)
So thanks a lot for bringing this up!
The remaining delta between desktop and UNR is:
- we miss:
* gdm-guest-session: we thought netbooks were single user and this
wasn't required in UNR
* gimp + libwmf0.2-7-gtk, brasero, openoffice.org-math, xsane,
tsclient: considered in appropriate / useless in UNR or netbooks
* rss-glx, xscreensaver-gl: incompatible with our clutter launcher
* usb-creator-gtk, vino: I'm not 100% sure why we don't ship these;
will bring them up on next desktop integration meeting
- we add:
* UNR stack (ubuntu-netbook-remix-default-settings, netbook-launcher,
desktop-switcher, maximus, window-picker-applet, go-home-applet,
webfav)
* cheese
