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".
The Group tag is a useless thing - you yourself advocated to replace it with a Tag-based system, not a tree-like system.
but yes, RPM should be patched to simply not show it when it's not defined - there is no value in this field.
So I advocate that Group lines must be retained if they exist and are updated.
Disagree - Cleaning up and being consistent is better here. Does not mean that your work is not valued - but hey: plenty of packages I did 15 years ago have been dropped by now. such is life - and evolution keeps on moving.
I followed the discussion previously but not in detail. I have to say that my typical workflow after a fresh installation is to go through the package manager to install what I want and need. And btw. I'm using the Group view for that because the others or even more useless IMHO. So if we remove Group what is the proper replacement? Patterns are not a solution for me because I feel those are missing too many packages I need. What else?
