I am doing an update and review of the developer documentation. The "vim-enhanced" reference was updated just a couple of days ago -- http://www.clearfoundation.com/docs/developer/development_environment [^]
ClearOS Core is a rebuild of *all* the upstream packages, including packages that really should not be installed on a ClearOS Community/Professional system (e.g. Thunderbird mail client).
Everything that can be installed via Marketplace has "repo closure" as they call it. You can think of it this way -- take all the "app-x" packages and make sure all the underlying dependencies are met. That's ClearOS Community/Professional.
I just added a similar comment to the developer docs @ http://www.clearfoundation.com/docs/developer/architecture/core_system/start [^] |

I just added more clarification to the developer documents. If you are maintaining a development environment (0.1% of the user base), you might as well enable the clearos-core repository. If you are not building a development environment (99.9% of the user base), then move along... nothing to see here.
On ClearFoundation's handful of live systems (dog food), clearos-core is not necessary and is disabled. Since building RPMs often requires development tools and libraries in clearos-core, I have clearos-core enabled in those environments.
Clear as mud? |

Perhaps the definition of clearos-core repo is what's misleading here - it's obvious to those who know what ClearOS Core was /is (i.e. a full rebuild of upstream package)...but in reality it contains everything else but the 'core' ClearOS system packages which are actually found in the clearos-os or clearos-updates repos
Would clarification in the repo's wiki page also help?

My understanding of core was wrong as you've pointed out
A lot of the extra packages are housed here. Having the repo disabled by default means if you have installed any of these extra packages you may miss out on security update. I feel somewhere the strategy has got confused - but don't know for sure.
Also I can't work out which url to use to browse the repo. I can browse almost all the standard repo's but not clearos-core (or clearos). |

- The docs have been updated. In general, the use of the word "core" needs to be eliminated in ClearOS documentation just to avoid the confusion.
- If you are a command line guy and install a whole bunch of packages from clearos-core, then enabling the repository is the way to go (to get those security updates).
- The clearos-core repository is not browsable, but the "clearos" repository is in the "os" directory, e.g. http://mirror.clearfoundation.com/clearos/community/6/os/i386/ClearOS/ [^] |

clearos-core is a v6 repo only. |
