#126 closed task (wontfix)

poppler-data and poppler-data-devel packages have no group tag

Description

The group is unspecified for the above. This is consistent with Fedora's packaging, apparently. Should we set a tag? poppler is in the Development/Libraries group.

Should matters like this be reported upstream instead? Honestly, we have enough to worry about. LOL

as we try to follow 100% what fedora does, I think we should not add them.
And yes please report that upstream first. If they add it, report back and we add it as well.

According to Fedora's packaging guidelines, the Group tag is optional. Until or unless the Fedora maintainer decides to include a Group tag for this, we should close as WONTFIX.

Response from package maintainer (Rex Dieter) received today (2015-12-14):

Group: tag has been deprecated in fedora for a long time, only needed if one wants to retain compatibility with RHEL 5.
