104	Group tag standardization	Lewis Rosenthal	Lewis Rosenthal	"As our collection of packages has grown, the need for better organization has become greater. Most of our packages utilize the Group tag, but I'm not clear as to what standard we follow. For example, Fedora has an optional Group tag, and [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RPMGroups few explicit categories], while openSUSE has a [https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Package_group_guidelines much more detailed list]. Mageia has yet a different set of [https://wiki.mageia.org/en/RPM_groups_policy standard group tags]. Some other packages of ours (virtual ones, such as the netlabs-rel, netlabs-exp, os2-base, os2-mpts) have no group tag at all.

YUMIE (still under development) has the ability to filter the package list based upon group, so this is a working example of where these tags will be used.

I'm happy to add the necessary page to the rpm wiki here once we agree on a reasonable standard (and it doesn't have to be one of the existing ones; for example, I would suggest a group of ""Virtual"" for the virtual packages)."	task	closed	Feedback Pending		rpm			wontfix
