With or without a Robotics spin, our own comps group would be beneficial: it keeps all of the important packages in one place and lets the community know that we take robotics very seriously. I think it's in a similar vein as the design suite or the electronics lab, and it's something we can add to our F15 feature page[2]. Post to the list with a patch against comps.

Bill Hi, I'm sorry for going quiet on this. I somehow missed the mail. So, how would we go about this? Should I submit the above mentioned as a feature for F15? Would that be the way to go?

I almost always only want specific applications, and the categorization isn't as useful as searching.

A comps group for the Design Suite
Hello, Since the design team is using a design suite, would it be possible to please create a group in comps for the purpose? It would make installation of the design suite much easier for end users. The alternative is to create a meta package which isn't welcomed. This[1] is the tentative list of packages. [1]http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Design_Suite_Planning#Included -- Thanks!
