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.
Do you really think somebody will paste for you the hundred or thousands packages with wrong groups? I brought an example, should be enough.
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.
If we put everything into Virtualization we don't need groups. Has the same affect as no group at all. But your answer only proves, that the current Group list is unuseable.
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 :(
If you make sure the packaging guidelines are everywhere correct, we can speak about exact locations. As long as the wiki has no or wrong informations, yes, this is "vagueness". As long as only a few people like you knows the details, you don't need to wonder if people are vague or ignore it. And no, I will not reverse engineer your tools.
First, it did not generate an error, it generated a warning. Second, rpmlint does not even generate a warning anymore.
Most interesting part: why did you delete the other part? Because they are correct and you cannot put them away in a non-constructive way?
