Lite Tweaks - Packaging
#1

Jerry,

I don't know how to mark a package as standard or optional once it has been installaed as required in a system. All lite packages are installed as "required", meaning that they can be updated and upgraded but the system will refuse to remove them because of the required priority.

Quote:lite-info                              required
lite-manual                            required
lite-software                          required
lite-themes                            required
lite-tweaks                            required
lite-upgrade-series3                    required
lite-usermanager                        required
lite-welcome                            required

For example, I tried by removing lite-tweaks entirely from the system and installing a deb with priority: optional and essential no but the system somehow still believes this is a required package?

Do you know how to accomplish this?

I originally set up the LL control files to ensure our software wasn't removed. They are a part of the LL experience. They can be forcefully removed via Synaptic if so desired. I'd like to keep them as they are. We don't have hordes of people requesting to remove LL apps, they each serve a purpose.
