There are heretic movements being made right now to actively kill the Group line, rendering software like rpm-catalog useless to the end-user. Not to mention it nullifies the 3000 or whatever SRs made within the last 2 years, which is a great way to say "thank you, for nothing".
many packages have wrong group tags
That is quite vague.
Why? Because for many important areas we have no matching group at all.
Or can you tell me, where you would look for all the container or kubernetes related tools?
Virtualization methinks. This, upon now checking, also happens to be where docker et al are sorted in freshcode.club. The "old-style" RPM group seems to be System/Emulators, which is where most of the important stuff like dosbox (emulator), virtualbox (not so much an emulator), and wine (not an emulator at all) is. I can imagine why the container people put it under System/Management; it's not an emulator and it can be used to "manage" a system, though that grouping is vague in itself; some people even consider their container stuff System/Base probably, just because it's a kernel feature. The upside is: It can be fixed in short order. Like any bug, being aware of the existence is the first, and most important, part of it.
Not even the wiki page is correct. It claims you can introduce new groups by just using them. But of course, we don't allow that, there is somewhere a list which creates an error
"somewhere"... more of the vagueness :( First, it did not generate an error, it generated a warning. Second, rpmlint does not even generate a warning anymore. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
