Hi,
A year ago, I learned that Group tag is obsolete [1] I remember ask
the
reason and is something about comps.xml that I don't remember
neither
find on google , but for projects that still use repoview, Group
tag is
needed. So the questions are, have we any replacement for repoview
? or
another way to show one repo content ? and why the Group tag is
obsolete ? can someone remind me why. And how we now the group of
one
package ? .
Thanks.

Here's the FPC ticket about it:
https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/199
Thanks I was able to find the reason:
RPM in Fedora 18 does not require the presence of the Group tag in the
spec file. If the tag is defined, it will be ignored.
Not ignored, it just became optional in rpm 4.6.0 in 2009. So its
somewhat old news. The group tag being obsolete (in that practically
nothing uses it for anything) is actually even older thing.
