It should be pointed out that before the removal became possible both yast and packagehub have been migrated to use alternate mechanisms so i'm not sure how much weight these arguments have.
It should also be pointed out that * I believe yast does not use any "alternate mechanism", because the browse-by-group feature was killed off there. * packagehub looks like a SLE-specific thing, meaning the SLE guys sometimes do things different, but me I am interested in the openSUSE ways. * Coincidentally, packagehub uses the same approach as rpm-catalog for turning classic groups into tags. * Moreover, packagehub also has a "Unspecified" category with already 16 packages in it. This strongly suggests it also relies on the RPM Group line. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
