The problem with doing so is that it can lead to a confusing UI in some
cases. We've tried (hard) to get to where packages are only listed for
one component. I'd like to try to stay there.
I see a real disconnect between a policy like the above, the current
names, and the current usage.
Take a look at the following two categories:
<id>gnome-software-development</id>
<name>GNOME Software Development</name>
<description>Install these packages in order to develop GTK+ and
GNOME graphical applications.</description>
<id>xfce-software-development</id>
<name>XFCE Software Development</name>
<description>Install these packages in order to develop GTK+ and
XFCE graphical applications.</description>
In the former, there are packages such as gazpacho, gtkmm24-devel and
anjuta, et. al. In the latter there are gtk2-devel, glade2, glib2-devel,
et. al.
I think there will need to be one of two changes:
1) Allow gtk2-devel to be in both GNOME and XFCE development categories
2) Create a GTK+ and language bindings development category
