Hmm, actually, maybe it currently doesn't, but it definitely has before: http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/updates/testing/20/x86_64/comps.xml But basically, any repo can have comps data and dnf will respect it; you can set up an external repo with comps data that lists some package from that repo as being in the `standard` group, for instance, and when it installs the `standard` group, dnf will include that package. AFAIK this has always been intended to work. I'm not sure how often it gets tested. I think Software's 'groups' are really the 'categories' from the app's .desktop file: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/1.1/ar01s03.html#desktop-entry-extensions-examples GNOME Software's list of recognized categories isn't exactly the same as the spec's list of 'registered categories', though: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/1.1/apa.html https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-software/tree/src/plugins/gs-desktop-common.c#n323 -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
