So what are people using to find certain packages available in the repos if you you look for a category?
Discover and GNOME Software which gets their categorisations from AppData, not the nonsense, mislabelled, unstructured, invalid, and unncessary burden on packagers that is RPM Groups.
So is the PackageHub grouping bad?
AppData already provides all the tagging and metadata nonsense which Jan seems to be crusading for, and so expecting something beneficial to be somehow accomplished by sticking on the failed concept of "RPM Groups" is downright bizzare to me.
If anyone is seriously using RPM Groups under the illusion they're remotely accurate, they'd be better served by reading tea leaves, asking a magic 8-ball, or sticking their head out of the window and asking a passing airborne porcine.
There are 57600ish rpm files in Factory (ARCHIVES.gz) // 12448 packages (osc ls openSUSE:Factory), but only 506 AppData files. That is an absolutely DESOLATE state at - at most - 4.0%. The coverage for Group (whether accurate or not) is 12214/12399, or 98.5%. The one with the illusion is you. (Confer with Stasiek's reply.) You should check out those British leaves... while they last.
Jan's crusade here, and the manner in which he is conducting it, is so blatently infantile that he has successfully managed to motivate me from being on the fence on this topic to now ensuring that I will actively remove the RPM Group from any spec file I touch from this point today.
Wow, so you're joining the edit war. Well if _that_ isn't infantile! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
