How do we handle these, blacklist them?

Maybe.

Taking a quick look, I see that most packages you described as
(library) actually do have the keyword "library" in the owners.list
description, so for those I could take that into account.


You couldalso check the actual rpm contents, and if there is nothing under /[s]bin or /usr/[s]bin then not complain, I don't know hoe hard that would be though. The taking a look at owners.list descriptions definetly is a good start!

The cmdline tools are more problematic...

I agree, not even looking at the rpms helps there, which leads to the conclusion we really need a blacklist. Still the script could/should be made a bit smarter like using owners.list descriptions to keep the size of the blacklist down.

(As a side note: I tend to like cmdline tools, and would like
to see them listed in comps.xml anyway...  but maybe that's just me)


I like them too, but they are for power users and comps is (AFAIK) for the "ordinary" end user, so I think the current policy of not putting them in comps.xml is correct.

Hans
