Easier way to maintain comps.xml ?

[Thorsten Leemhuis]

Hi all!

Just fishing for opinions here.

EPEL will likely have a comps.xml soon, too. Thus if you add a new
package to Fedora and build it for all supported dists you have to add
the entry to five comps.xml files in the future (Fedora current, Fedora
current-1, Fedora devel, EPEL4 and EPEL5 (not counting Fedora current-2,
which would be FC-5 currently, but that is EOL soon)).

Isn't there a easier way to maintain that information in the long term?
Maybe via the package database? The only thing that might be different
in the different comps.xml files is afaics the group a package belongs to.

Or do we simply don't care as we have bigger problems right now?
