_Well done_ for bringing up rpm specfile groups which are obsolete, as
I'm sure you know, and have been since before PK existed.
I've been wondering -- is there any reason we don't get rpmbuild to
strip the group out of the package metadata when it generates a binary
RPM?
Also, right now, rpmdev-newspec still creates a Group field, and even
prepopulates it for certain templates (e.g. libraries)
it'll be maintained for compat reasons by it is no longer required to
build a package as of the new rpm in rawhide, iirc.
Yup. We can't drop off the group tag just like that, not only various
software expects it to be there, it's documented as a mandatory field in
LSB.
rpmbuild no longer requires the Group: tag in specs, but it drops in
"Unspecified" if the spec doesn't set it to comply (the current rawhide
rpm wont do this but it's fixed upstream, rawhide will get it in next
version update)
