Tim is spot on, and a good example of someone that does things properly rather than just ranting about how broken $something is. I really can't believe how rude some people are on this list. We spent a few hours over the last week or so on the upstream PackageKit mailing list, designing a new method and signal to allow us to return custom groups in a cross distro way. Tim wrote the initial patch, which I then rewrote a little, and then the very next day Tim committed a simple yum implementation of the new method call. All in all it was a few hundred lines added. > I agree in there is some issues with the static groups currently in > pk.so i have made this proposal on the upstream packagekit list. > > http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/packagekit/2008-September/003675.html And the end result is something like this: http://rhughes.fedorapeople.org/gpk-groups-comps.png It needs some UI review and testing, but it shows how quickly we could add a feature. The "simple" menu will be show by default, but it'll be simple to turn on the "advanced" group selector.
