= UNIX =

== Comfortable Unix System ==

 * busybox-static    # https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-lucid-boot-recovery
 * cpio
 * cron
 * ed
 * file
 * hdparm            # speed up CD-ROM and disk access, used by installer
 * info

 * logrotate
 * man-db            # ColinWatson
 * (manpages)        # ColinWatson
 * media-types       # establishes framework for dealing with MIME
 * (nano)            # we need a text editor less scary than vi
 * parted

 * pciutils
 * usbutils
 * time
 * xz-utils          # previously pulled in by mime-support
 * (bash-completion)

== Filesystems ==

These are commonly used filesystem support packages, here because someone setting up a server would begin with standard, configure filesystems and network and then add other services. NFS is explicitly not here, because it brings in nasties like portmap, and because the network will need to be running before it can be used, so we may as well put that in Supported.

 * dosfstools
 * hfsutils [powerpc]
 * (ntfs-3g)
 * (uuid-runtime) # we use UUIDs by default, so make it easy to generate them

== Networking ==

These provide various networking services, all should be configured in a client-only state with the server de-activated unless the user requires it.

 * bind9-dnsutils       # LaMontJones
 * ftp
 * (iptables)       # FabioMassimoDiNitto
 * nftables         # nft is the new iptables LP: #1887187
 * (telnet)
 * (openssh-client) # ColinWatson
 * rsync          # would be just client but they are the same binary apparently
 * wget           # FabioMassimoDiNitto

= Debugging and Diagnostics =

A base system should be a good platform for diagnostics about the hardware and network. In other words, after installing just the Base system one should have everything one might need to get the rest of the system up and running the way you want it.

These are used for debugging problems or examining the system.

 * strace
 * dmidecode
 * ppc64-diag [powerpc ppc64el]	# LP: #1417608
 * lshw
 * lsof

= Helpful Tools =
 
 * (friendly-recovery)    # give a nice menu in recovery mode
 * (command-not-found)
 * (apparmor) # load AppArmor policies
 * (plymouth) # splash screen, and boot-time questions

== Network ==

 * (iputils-tracepath)  # more secure sort of traceroute, will put compatibility symblink in for traceroute users
 * (mtr-tiny)           # LaMontJones
 * (tcpdump)
 * (ufw)                # Jamie Strandboge

= Other =

 * elementary-standard # metapackage for everything here
 * (apt) # James Westby, enables access to private PPAs among other things
 * language-selector-common # helps installer to work out which language-support packages to install
 * (elementary-os-overlay) # provides apt pinning
 * (cryptsetup) # was getting autoremoved after install possibly causing broken system
 * (lvm2) # was getting autoremoved after install causing broken system
 * (btrfs-tools)
 * (jfsutils)

== Blacklist ==

inetutils-telnet was introduced through MIR (LP: #2008789), but only the
-telnet package got reviewed and the other binaries from src:inetutils should
stay out of main. Related to:
