| Aug 21, 2013 at 6:45 | comment | added | Shimi | Because if I go that route, I need to conflict with any other thing that's in any CentOS profile but 'Minimal', and start maintaining and following the dependency tree of the distribution, which might change in the future. A runlevel configuration in /etc/inittab is probably a safer bet. I have been using Linux for 16 years now, and the very test I'm doing today, worked back then, too. Not to mention that I might actually need some of those packages anyways, and would put them in 'Requires:' in my own meta-package. I just don't want redundant stuff, and I'm using obvious forensics to find them | |
| Aug 21, 2013 at 6:11 | comment | added | Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams | So then why not conflict with the X server package? (Not that it's really anyone's business though...) | |
| Aug 21, 2013 at 5:44 | comment | added | Shimi | I did say it is just an example, and there are other tests I'ld like to conduct... but since you asked - quite frankly the runlevel is not a requirement, but I do want to start with a minimal system, don't want redundant stuff on the machine, both from performance and from security point of view. If the machine is at runlevel 5, it is quite safe to assume that someone installed X11, which is not needed for a server. So it is kind of a hint that the user did not start with a minimal OS as the installation guide told him to. I want to try and avoid that. | |
