The file format is the same as the comps.xml in red hat linux 8.0 and 9 info on the format is here: http://people.redhat.com/katzj/anaconda/comps.html The only part of the file you need to be concerned with is the <group> parts - you can leave out the package dependency lists entirely. Read the top of yumcomps.py for a description of how groups are dealt with. I need to pull out that description into a doc file I just haven't yet. Put the xml file named as yumgroups.xml in the baseurl directory and yum will grab it if a group function is requested. The file is optional on any given repository. If you request a group function and you have 3 repositories to list through, provided that you have at least one yumgroups.xml file on one of the repositories the group function will succeed. hope that helps -sv
