Hello, I'd like understand how groups of package are now detect , specially in 3rd repo packages which can't use comps.xml.

If the tag is defined, it will be ignored. The package groups of the yum application are used on a Fedora 18 system as the relevant source of information on which group is the package a part of. I remembered in one thread of devel mailing list on create hawaii group and bingo found the link: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_use_and_edit_comps.xml_for_package_groups So now, how I know the group of the package (via yum or dnf) ? seems to me many packages will not have group ... and 3rd-part software ? Also /usr/bin/gnome-software how find the group of the package ? Well this is not a very important matter , but I'd like try organize packages in groups , via repoview. Thanks. -- Sérgio M.
