Hi,
First: package groups. That list:
http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/SUSE_Package_Conventions/RPM_Groups
It's incomplete, nobody respects it.
Stupid groups:
Productivity/Networking/Napster
- but there is no common group for P2P applications
Productivity/Networking/AOLInstantMessenger
- but there is no common group for IM applications!
Pidgin is in "Productivity/Networking/Instant Messenger", gajim in
"Productivity/Networking/InstantMessaging" etc.
Categorization funnies:
gstreamer010-plugins-base in System/GUI/GNOME (same for other gstreamer
packages). I'd never thought.
Second: lists of authors in package descriptions. That what AUTHORS
files are for! God damn it! I bet that most of it are incomplete,
because it's a waste of time to update them in specs. I run rpm -qi
and... whoa!, must rerun with some pager to see a real description.
Again, piding.spec is a good example.
OK, enough for today.
With love,
yours truly,
openSUSE user.
