I was referring to the general shit state of the group hierarchy in PLD. Basically 90% of the stuff is in Applications or X11/Applications, which makes the groups completly useless. There was some movement to make them more useful, but that was in 2004 and hadn't been talked about since then.
New group hierarchy proposition can be found at http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/PLD-doc/nowe-grupy?rev=HEAD. Jeff, it would be interesting to hear what do you think about replacement of groups with tags, as that might make more sense. Prototype graphical package manager which sorts packages by groups can be downloaded from http://team.pld-linux.org/~wolf/pacman/, but it's not all that useful. Prototype tool for managing package groups can be downloaded from http://team.pld-linux.org/~wolf/rgmt.7z, but it works only with the old SPECS/SOURCES structure and will break on some spec files. But, since it displays the groups from all the spec files, it can show how much chaos and typos is there, since nobody really cares. tl;dr: RPM groups in PLD suck. wolf _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
