Now that we're using yum(e) as our RPM package manager, it should be
possible to greatly simplify our rpmlist by using "groups" (which are
defined by the Linux distribution).

This also does not require us to manually modify the rpmlist each time
to support a new release version (provided that the group names stay the
same).

If it's not too difficult I'd like to implement this (but only as an
optional feature).  I think as a first step when createrepo is run it
needs to be passed the comps.xml file which the user need to manually
put on the system (or perhaps there is a web location which can be
retrieved).

Fernando, can you check to see if this functionality is supported in
Mandriva?

Nilesh, can you check for SuSE?

Geoffroy, are there similar mechanisms for Debian?

Thanks all,

Bernard
