All About Ubuntu Flavor Development
What Makes Up A Ubuntu Flavor Operative System?
The Flavor Meta
The flavor meta source is a single package source, which, when built, may result in a multitude of binary meta packages. The metas themselves are always empty, but depends on a set of packages, which form what you could call a package set - the list of packages that make up that flavor.
Seeds
When building a meta package, it looks for the dependencies from what we call seeds. The seeds are basically a set of text files, where all the package dependencies are listed.
Install Tasks (correct term?)
The seeds are also used for creating "install tasks", which are selectable from a expert install medium, such as the Ubuntu netinstall.
Other Flavor Packages
At the very least, each flavor will have a package called <flavor>-default-settings. This is not an empty package, like the meta, and includes some specific system settings for that flavor.
Some flavors will have additional special packages, such as theming packages, or flavor specific applications.
