The groups in comps are used in defining the contents of live images and product trees (and hence DVD images), and the arm disk images. The groups defined in comps are the ones users can choose from in netinst/dvd installs. We could look at subbing in something better (the restrictions on relationships between packages, groups and environments can be a pain), but it'd need to be a careful process. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
