Benefit to Fedora
This spin is insofar beneficial for Fedora itself, as it helps the Design Team by fitting its needs through selecting often used applications and including them on one spin. Additionally, it helps new users interested in design matters to join Fedora, since they'll be able to download the spin and start directly using the applications - without being required to look into the load of available packages. In a way, it fosters the design community inside Fedora.
Kickstart File
Latest ks file inside git repository
Nightly Builds
Nightly builds of the latest .ks file can be found at nightly compose website in either 32-bits (known as i686 architecture) or 64-bits (as x86_64).
Sometimes nightly builds fail due internal change. We are working on them! :)
ISO Name / FS Label
- fedora-19-Live-design-suite
Dependencies
The current list of packages for inclusion is available. Whereas there's also one for package we consider, none of them should block the release of the spin.
We are also working on an equivalent comps group, which is a non-blocking component, though.
Aside from this, no other dependencies are required.
Scope / Testing
Generally, the spin should boot and popular applications like Gimp and Inkscape should work. The nightly builds will make testing quite easier. So far, no extraordinary changes have been included.
