Tracker: rpm suggestions for removal and addition

[boredsquirrel]

• [ ] for addition:
  • [ ] R rstudio-desktop (bundle, does this work in current syntax? )
  • [ ] selinux-policy-sandbox selinux-policy-doc (does this work?)
  • [ ] virt-manager qemu qemu-kvm
• [ ] for removal:
  • [ ] geoclue2 (constantly running in background, not needed after first install, not removble), use
  • [ ] baloo (crashing always, not removable by default)
  • [ ] kwrite (obsolete using Kate)

[boredsquirrel]

Geoclue cannot be removed: package xdg-desktop-portal-1.15.0-4.fc37.x86_64 requires geoclue2

but it can be disabled with systemctl disable geoclue

ive removed some duplicates in the list, also you can just add the recommended application in the json list and make a pr for it @trytomakeyouprivate

[iaacornus]

some are not suggestions, but rather necessity, hence i've removed it since it should be included by default in the options to be selected by user.

[iaacornus]

make a pr for this that i can include it: for programs u want to suggest for installation use this config, and for removal use this config

the code format is:

"<app_id_u_will_use_for_argument>": {
        "aid": "<name_of_app>",
        "sdesc": "<simp_description_of_app>",
        "source": "<either_flatpak_or_rpm>"
    }

I added the apps. I wonder how to deal with dependencies, how will the appid be used?

If its concatinated to a single rpm-ostree command, you could just write

gnome-boxes qemu qemu-kvm

R rstudio-desktop

virt-manager qemu qemu-kvm

are there more dependencies for the emulators? I saw some but havent found out where they are needed.

[iaacornus]

the appid is the name of the app that you will use for installation, like the one that u will put in rpm-ostree install or flatpak install, while the aid is the formal name of the app, like VSCode is the aid while the appid is code (rpm-ostree install code)

[iaacornus]

as for the dependencies, it will be handled by the package manager
