Bug 241379

Created attachment 155460 [details]
Patch to comps file by konradr

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion, but this component is not scheduled to be updated in
the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. If you would like
this request to be reviewed for the next minor release, ask your
support representative to set the next rhel-x.y flag to "?".

Question about the proposed patch:

+    <default>true</default>

Do we really want this enabled by default for *all* s390x installs.  It seems the preference would be to make it selectable for *all* s390x installs, and use kickstart "@systemz-tools" in your %packages section.

In response to comment 8:

Yes, I agree.  It would be better to have a group like "@System z compatibility" that is selectable, but not installed by default.

Observations:
1) Group text is not translated but I guess that comes at a later stage.
2) Listed packages compat-gcc-295, compat-gcc-296 and compat-gcc-32 are not present in the Server/ repository.
3) This group is not added to category base-system which shows other legacy packages groups. I suspect it will not be visible in Anaconda UI, only selectable in kickstart.

Moving back to assigned based on 2) and 3).

Fixes for #2 and #3 checked into CVS and should be available in the next nightly.

for -20090701.nightly build:

Should be the group text translated now or in the later stage?

Moving to assigned to get info about the translation.

Martin,
IIRC comps translation is done at later stage and then translations are merged in the xml file. They should have no effect on group behavior.

changing the status to verified.
