I was proposing repurposing the Group tag. Nobody uses it for installing
package groups nowadays. Actually I don't think it ever was used like
that. It was always used more like a category.

For example in ccdciel package:
Group: astronomy, astrophotography, imaging, telescope

However I don't know if Group is a scalar or a vector. Vector tag would
be more suitable, so that a package manager got the list already parsed
as:

Group: astronomy
Group: astrophotography
Group: imaging
Group: telescope

This works now:

$ dnf -q repoquery --qf '%{GROUP} %{NAME}' | grep Games

If yum repodata provided a reverse index (a mapping from a group to
package names), then "dnf -q repoqeury --what-group Games" would also
work.

The Group tag would not fix exactly what I mean. I wouldn't want to create 
groups of packages, but apply descriptive tags of the abilities of the package.
For example, in some of the packages I maintain:
ccdciel: astronomy, astrophotography, imaging, telescope
skychart: astronomy, telescope, planetarium
kpmcore: administration, disk, partition, utility

... so that a user can search for those tags in a package manager, instead of 
searching Google to find what software can do what he's searching for and then 
search for that package in the package manager to find if Fedora ships it.

Actually, I would find tags useful for searching packages related to a specific 
field: for example, I would like to search for 'astronomy' and get a list of 
all packages related to that topic.

It would be nice if tags could be added directly in the rpm specfile. Or at 
least in the appdata file.

Dear all,

The Fedora Infrastructure is running the fedora-tagger [0] service,
however it gets little usage and also has no one really maintaining it
or fixing issues with it. Earlier this year [1] we have tried to
support community members who expressed their interests in maintaining
this application, unfortunately this effort did not results in a new
version being released.

During our last meeting [2], we agreed to retire this service a week
after the end of the F29 beta freeze (see F29 schedule [3]).

Once the F29 beta freeze is over, we will communicate a sunset date.


Oh no, the press-random-arrows-to-get-badges app will be gone :D
