Doing changes like this would mean to go towards a more Suse-like system, with hundreds of rpm package groups that each contain a few packages. That is one option, but it requires to updates the specs of several thousands packages. My proposal is more limited: - let's split the groups that have obviously too many different packages (Development/Other is an example) to the point that it is unpractical to browse. - let's create a handful of categories that (1) make sense for packages that are currently in unrelated groups (motivated by security software for example); and (2) complete existing subdivisions (so as not to have to change the spec of too many packages) Only creating a few groups also lessens the burden for icons and translations. With that in mind, I'm not sure this is a good idea to get so fine-grained categories in Video, or communications, especially if it's just for one package. Maybe if we create a Security group, things like zoneminder can go there. For amateur radio, in communication it's fine IMHO. Communications has 138 packages, so it's reasonable. > Also, why has gpg got it's own top level 'Public Keys' group which > clutters rpmdrake - surely this should be somewhere down the System/.. > hierarchy? The public key thing does not correspond to a rpm group. It's a rpmdrake GUI choice of how to display keys AFAICT. Feel free to suggest to tv another choice for the display :-). Cheers, -- Malo
