This tag-based system still needs to have a human-editable file deployment format since we do want third-party and private repositories to be categorised and 'just install packagedb' won't ever fly. Right now this deployment format is comps. I agree it is less than ideal, but so far no clear entity has stepped up to make it evolve (and any evolution would need anaconda/yum/packagedb/packagekit/spin-tools buy-in). -- Nicolas Mailhot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
