Description Manuel Hiebel 2011-03-24 14:21:48 CET 
Description of problem:

Hi a have post some bugs with bad groups of rpms:
https://bugs.mageia.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=group

Here a list of pterjan: http://paste.pocoo.org/raw/358899/

Indeed, in rpmdrake they are several packages that are only in one group, and other rpm with no group.

So refuse to upload packages with bad groups.

Thanks
(sorry for my bad English)

s/refuse to upload packages with bad groups/refuse to build packages with bad groups/, this saves time and BS resources IMHO. Also is notifies the maintainer immediately that the BS won't build this package so that he/she can fix...
Comment 2 D Morgan 2011-03-24 23:56:54 CET 
yes this should if possible, better to check during the upload on the BS, we if can avoid to build those package i am agree that this is ressources won .

Comment 3 Michael Scherer 2011-03-25 11:27:43 CET 
We can, by order of resources taken : 
- check on spec file
- check on srpm
- check on rpm.

Not sure if rpmlint on spec or srpm would be enough to detect all wrong group.

Hello,

it is possible to do something?

Yesterday a new package import had still errors. 

otherwise we can synchronize completely on fedora :)

Can rpmlint check the Group of each sub-package (when linting the .spec), or just the Group of the main package?
