=== To Consider === [This shows our level of innovation and forward thinking.]

* htop [Better top, seriously.] good enough to have it in universe - NO
* aoetools - OK
* backuppc - ALREADY IN MAIN
* rsync (this is already in main?) Default install - IS THERE
* rsnapshot [Default? install?] - OK
* munin - OK
* munin-node - OK
* rubygems [Near necessity for Rails.] Has better major-minor-point pinning support than apt-dpkg with respect to Ruby packages. - DEFER for ruby session

Overview

Comparing ourselves to our coopetitors is a necessary task to know where we are at and decide where we could get better.

Comparison

Package proposal for MIR

We should categorize the missing ones in three categories.

  • agreed: means that we both agreed that we should pull them in supported list and will work on a MIR for Hardy
  • Rejected: agreed during UDS that it should not be pulled in main

Agreed

The following is a table of packages for which we now need to write a MainInclusionReport (MIR) following the MainInclusionProcess.

Status should be one of :

  • Assigned
