Currently, your proposal is the best I've seen. I think we can generate groups from the packageDB for Fedora Repositories as an xml file with a specified format. Repositories that do not have access to the package db can use the generated xml to make their own groupings. Do you see a difference between this and having Fedora Repositories include an xml groups file that Fedora Contributors modify directly? > On a related issue I'd like to know if I should follow up on the comps > ralx-ng schema I posted on the other day, work on a schema for some new > comps format, I'm interested in the comps schema if I might have to generate comps from the packageDB or write a converter from a new repository-groups format and comps format (for instance, because anaconda's going to continue to use comps) I'm interested in your new format because it looks like a good way to resolve the differences in needs that the installer, package managers, and repoview have. > or if the large round of silence that followed the last > schema posting means no one's really interested. > It means your arguments were unassailable ;-) -Toshio
