[maemo-developers] Extras vs SDK Tools (was Re: For Extras, do I need specific garage projects?)

[From: tz]

There are only a few programs and they could easily be linked in
manually.  Or something like a promote page.

I think I mentioned the list I came up with in the previous thread -
bluez-utils-test, wireless-tools, less, strace, bzip/unzip.  (I am
trying to get p7zip which should handle all though).

(I include strace because when something breaks, usually a failed open
or something easy to find from that output is very helpful)

The only problem is many aren't in the "user" section, but that could
also be handled by a meta-package or simply installing something that
uses them as a dependency.  Enabling Extras and using a standard
install mechanism is far less hassle than adding tools and SDK (where
you get EVERYTHING).
