Hey all,

I am going to add the following packages to the required list for the
stable release process. Our current releases haven't had much work to do
for most of the packages and I believe it's time to start broadening our
list.

The following packages are from stable cauldron/iso/data/optional-list
(minus those already in the list):

ethstatus
links
minicom
nmap
uptimed

Only question is why? nmap? That's not really needed to make a distro work. Nor is ethstatus or links or uptimed. The optional-list was just stuff thrown together. I don't believe it is a good place to start. Eventually, afaik, that list will mutate as things are done differently in cauldron. I believe we should packages that we deem important

Filesystem packages (reiserfs, jfs, xfstools) etc. are good.
Openssl, openssh, good also.

Lets add them a few at a time based off importance and use, not a whole lot based off whats in an (obsolete, really) optional list. (not that an "optional" list can get obsolete, but that's the best term I can come up with)

David
