[opensuse-packaging] Clean up RPM Groups
Hi all During installation of Beta2, I found packages in RPM Groups, I never expected them to be. For example: perl-Apache-AuthCookie => Development/Languages/Perl perl-SVN-Simple => Development/Languages/Perl vs. perl-SOAP-Lite => Development/Libraries/Perl perl-Apache-AuthNetLDAP => Development/Libraries/Perl Referring to the SUSE Package Conventions: http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/SUSE_Package_Conventions "The group Development/Languages is intended for tools that are useful or even necessary for developing in a particular programming language. This is the right place for compilers, interpreters, and programming language–dependent tools." [...] "The group Development/Libraries is intended for packages that allow developing with a library. [...] Here, developers should find all available libraries that can be used in more projects." So in summary for me: We should use ONE Group for Perl-Modules and ONE Group for packages that extend the compiler of a language. But this doesn't only happen to Perl - nearly all other programming languages are affected. It's very easy to check this yourself: start "yast2 sw_single &" and have a look at the package groups... As we can't check the correct group automatically at the moment, I'm asking every packager: please have a look at the RPM Group of your package. And adjust it if necessary. Thank you in advance!
