Since everyone is talking about groups, I have a few questions: 1) Why are rpm groups different than comps groups? 2) How come comps doesn't have Development/Libraries? 3) Where on the wiki page can I find definitions of all the comps/rpm groups? 4) What are you supposed to do if your software falls into multiple group categories? List it twice? Pick a category and list it once? 5) What if your software doesnt fall into any defined category? Do you create your own comps group or rpm group? For example, numpy is classified as "Development/Languages" in rpm, and "Applications/Engineering and Scientific" in comps. But isn't numpy used primarily as a library for other python applications such as pygame? Wouldn't it be better classified as "Development/Libraries"? It is a library just like a C library, only it's for python. So therefore the rpm group changes from "Development/Libraries" to "Development/Languages" simply because it's written in python and not C? And isn't comps' "Applications/Engineering and Scientific" meant for end-user applications and not libararies? Oh god I'm so confused. :-| For me, this whole grouping of software seems very complicated and confusing. Is there any hope of standardizing this stuff? Maybe a whole new paradigm of software grouping needs to be invented. For example a set of flags which define the software such as language, usage, category, etc. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
