rPath Linux:rpl2 group structure

From rPath Wiki

group-anaconda-deps

   Tools included only for anaconda-templates and their build time
   dependencies

group-appliance-platform

   The base group from which to build most common full-featured
   appliances.  This is the group included from the group-appliance
   superclass.  This group may change slightly from time to time
   to follow rPath's current recommended best practices.  This will
   generally mean that additional packages may be added to provide
   additional functionality, such as hardware and software reporting
   and maintenance tools.  This is a superset of group-core.

group-base

   tools which automatically, simply by their presance on the system, add
   basic unix-y functionality to a system.

group-bootable

   components necessary to boot a system in any anaconda-supported
   configuration and to login to said system and talk to a network.
   specifically, this group does *not* include components necessary to
   update the installed system using conary, raa, or any other in-band
   method

group-compat32

   32 bit libraries for x86_64 systems

group-core

   Individual components required to boot the system in any
   anaconda-supported install configuration, to log in to the system,
   to run Conary including a network connection, and dependencies of
   those troves.  It is the normal core of a software appliance.

group-devel

   All development tools
   All development-related components (:devel, :devellib, :perl,
   :python) from group-dist (automatically)
   This is a significant portion of the OS; the most important
   difference between a group-devel and everything install is
   that network services aren't automatically included in a
   group-devel install.  (Additionally, other runtimes are
   not automatically included, such as the X server.)

group-dist

   that which is shipped on the cd, dep complete

group-dist-base

   This group contains packages that provide libraries and other files which
   resolve dependencies.  This group is not selected by default at install
   time when installing from media.  Components that are not required by
   other components being installed will be installed only in an "everything"
   install or if explicitly selected for installation.
   The only time that components are included without their packages are
   for the case of packages that are not entirely multilib-safe.

group-netserver

   daemons that provide public services, and their direct dependencies

group-os

   defination of the distro. anything included as part of rPath Linux must be
   part of group-os or one of its children

group-os-devel

   All development-related components (:devel, :devellib, :perl,
   :python) from group-dist (automatically).  In addition, packages
   which are build requirements but which we do not include on the
   media.

group-os-extras

   Maintained packages that are not included on the media but are included
   in the distribution for some reason and do not best fit in some other
   subgroup of group-os, such as group-os-devel.  This group may contain
   path conflicts.

group-printing

   Tools required to implement a direct or indirect print service on the
   system.  These may not be required to enable talking directly to a
   remote print queue from applications.

group-rails

   Tools that are required to support Ruby on Rails.

group-rpl-livecd

   livecd group. the defination of what goes on the livecd

group-text-devel

   Simple development environment used for building live images
   that support development from a text-mode login environment

group-text-tools

   General-purpose text tools, including general programs that
   are useful without running X.  Must not pull in X via dependencies.

group-X

   Tools that are generally useful only for a graphical
   desktop but are not specific to GNOME, KDE, or some
   other desktop environment.  This includes all the
   component of the x.org components that we build, but
   does not include applications that belong in
   group-X-applications.

group-X-applications

   Applications that are generally useful only if you have a graphical
   desktop but are not specific to GNOME, KDE, or some
   other desktop environment.
