Hi, A year ago, I learned that Group tag is obsolete [1] I remember ask the reason and is something about comps.xml that I don't remember neither find on google , but for projects that still use repoview, Group tag is needed. So the questions are, have we any replacement for repoview ? or another way to show one repo content ? and why the Group tag is obsolete ? can someone remind me why. And how we now the group of one package ? .
Thanks.
Here's the FPC ticket about it: https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/199
Thanks I was able to find the reason:
RPM in Fedora 18 does not require the presence of the Group tag in the spec file. If the tag is defined, it will be ignored.
Not ignored, it just became optional in rpm 4.6.0 in 2009. So its somewhat old news. The group tag being obsolete (in that practically nothing uses it for anything) is actually even older thing.
