[Bug 1683166] [NEW] Programs to exclude from the default gnome install

 

Public bug reported:

Some suggestions to keep the menu less cluttered and focused on useful
software that works:

- Don't install the games by default.
  
  Packages: aisleriot, gnome-mines, gnome-sudoku, gnome-mahjongg


- Don't install technical stuff
  
  Packages: sysprof, transmission


- Don't install incomplete / seriously buggy software

  Packages: gnome-maps, gnome-documents, gnome-books, gnome-photos


- Don't install stuff that may not be useful for most people. 

  Contacts,calendar and selfies are typically handled by mobile/web these days. 
  And users are likely to choose another program anyway. 
  Scanning is so 1995.

  Packages: gnome-contacts, gnome-calendar, cheese, simple-scan
