But that's not my suggestion. I think Group has become too ugly
to be
properly saved. Applications like synaptic should instead use the comps file
groups for organizational purposes.
Comps is totally unsuitable since it limits you to whatever packages
where known to the distribution at the time of its release. (ie bye bye
third-party packages).
Like for spec file i18n we need a solution that permits standalone
self-contained packages. Anything else will sort-of work with RedHat and
be rejected by anyone else.
Now if you want mon opinion on rpm organisation, a mix of a Keywords
in-spec field (Matches: java, games, x11) and external group
declarations (external group descriptors, including user-provided group
overlays and perhaps grouping policy files) is the way to go. Really
this is much the same problem as menu building for example.
