Reason for closing: Implemented
Additional comments about closing: Our groups are mostly identical to upstream now with a few exceptions
- network-manager-applet: Not useful. The nm-connection-editor part of it is already installed, as above.
- gnome-usage: Strange that this "official" (GNOME namespace) app is not part.
- network-manager-applet: I agree, it can be omitted.
- gnome-usage: Yes, that's strange. Maybe we could ask upstream for inclusion.
Some notes about other packages:
- file-roller: It will have to be moved from gnome to gnome-extra in the next release (GNOME 42):
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-build-meta/-/commit/7b6e3c0c95153ec9ff09b4264337829a0a4c43dc
- gnome-initial-setup, gnome-tour: These are omitted from the gnome group, because these packages are mainly targeted for distributors.
- gnome-themes-extra: It would be moved from gnome to gnome-extra. But it would be not so nice to leave the users without the GTK2 version of Adwaita GTK theme, so I think it's better to keep it in gnome for a while:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-build-meta/-/commit/8b1708c38bea2d11eaed8a7c38174130dc5429b2
- tracker, tracker-miners: The old tracker can be removed from gnome (and from the official repositories) once gnome-online-accounts and gnome-documents are ported to tracker3. Ports are available but not merged yet:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-online-miners/-/merge_requests/3
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-documents/-/merge_requests/35
- xdg-user-dirs-gtk: Not would be part of gnome, but very useful, so I think it's okay to keep it.
Add to gnome group:
- xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
Remove from gnome group:
- file-roller (move to gnome-extra)
- gnome-video-effects (just a dependency of cheese)
Add to gnome-extra group:
- d-spy
- file-roller
- gitg
- gnome-2048
- gnome-dictionary
- gnome-notes
- gnome-screenshot
- gnome-themes-extra
- seahorse
Remove from gnome-extra group:
- gnome-nettool (removed due to dependency on gnome-common: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-build-meta/-/commit/1a1c7c86d5a1982270931858f299fdba9bb768a2 )
- gnome-usage (rejected: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-build-meta/-/issues/145 )
