" [1] "So, (if we want the package have a group ) all packages should be enumerated in comps, or not ? . Yes (in comps)" So are all packages enumerated in comps ? (no) Have we a replacement of repoview that group packages without using rpm group tag ? (no) What is the percentage of packages that have appdata ? what is the percentage of packages that are registered in comps.xml ? Maybe it was more useful have a task force in these 3 points ( repoview, appdata and comps.xml ) Final note , as I still use repoview, I think it is a useful tool , it doesn't make much sense to me remove group tag ...
