Mer uses package groups in kickstart files when creating images to define what functionality to provide.

The definition of these groups is in http://gitweb.merproject.org/gitweb?p=mer/project-core.git;a=tree;f=patterns;hb=HEAD

They are added into the repository by the createrelease.sh script.

Contents

mer-core

Mer core contains a minimal set of packages which will allow a Mer system to boot to a multi-user, console level system without basic networking.

mer-connectivity

The connectivity group adds networking, bluetooth, wireless and telephony.

mer-graphics-common

This group adds fonts and the uxlauncher. It does not provide an X or Wayland server.

mer-minimal-xorg

For devices that do not have a graphics HA a non-accelerated fb/vesa X server is provided with software rendering for GL.

It is often useful to do basic administration and tests on a device, these packages provide things like an editor, diff, tar, ssh as well as ofono and connman tests.
