Groups in spec files are something we really want to get rid off.

Why? I thought it was one of the most intesresting features to be used in YaST. I think it is very good that you can now (again) easily go to the RPM groups and go dwn the tree and see other programs that do something similar. Especially for new users this is a fun and easy way to learn about programs. Say if I want to see what kind of games there are and I am interested in a breakout game, I just go: Amusement, Games, Action, Breakout and install what is there. As a new user I also see 3D and take a look there. Then my interest is there and I will see much, much more. When I look at the patterns, they are very easy if you want to install groups of software, but they are not ideal for browsing. Searching is good when you know what you are looking for. The browsing is iseal to learn things. So unless there is a good alternative, I would like to keep it. And most likely the alternative will be not that much different.

And projects in OBS do not necessarily reflect the groups of packages.

And there lies a problem. Perhaps it could be something like this: Group: Productivity/Networking/Email/Servers Project: Productivity:Networking:Email:Servers I realy do like the depth that Groups go. Obviously there can be discussions about some choices, but in general I believe they are pretty good. houghi -- To have a nice mailinglist experience, follow the guidelines below:

Hi,

in spec file is a "Group: " required. Why aren't Project Names not identical to Group Names ?

e.g. postfix

Project: server:mail Group: Productivity/Networking/Email/Servers

Group names are more or less specified in rpm spec and our guidelines. And a group shall not change for a package, just because it is (temporarly) put in another project.

Yes, I do not want to change the Group in spec. I would like to have seen and found postfix in a Project called just like the Groupname. Productivity:Networking:Email:Servers If you browse in YAST for groups and later on d.o.o you won't find such a project. :( Regards Chris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
