the option of naming the language groups differently would be FAR easier than adding a new definition/group type to comps. Actually it's mostly already there, the langonly attribute appears to be there specifically for this. Although there are a couple of "bad" entries (like Somali Support) doesn't have so ... but that's probably more the fact we aren't using it, so it's hard to see/test. I agree that naming the groups better as well (Eg. lang-support-blah) would also be useful. Example output (Fed-13): % yum grouplist \*Support Setting up Group Process Installed Groups: Dial-up Networking Support Hardware Support Printing Support Installed Languages: Arabic Support [ar] Armenian Support [hy] Assamese Support [as] Bengali Support [bn] Bhutanese Support [dz] Chinese Support [zh] Ethiopic Support [am] Georgian Support [ka] Gujarati Support [gu] Hebrew Support [he] Hindi Support [hi] Inuktitut Support [iu] Japanese Support [ja] Kannada Support [kn] Khmer Support [km] Konkani Support [kok] Korean Support [ko] Lao Support [lo] Maithili Support [mai] Malayalam Support [ml] Marathi Support [mr] Myanmar (Burmese) Support [my] Oriya Support [or] Punjabi Support [pa] Russian Support [ru] Sinhala Support [si] Spanish Support [es] Tajik Support [tg] Tamil Support [ta] Telugu Support [te] Thai Support [th] Urdu Support [ur] Venda Support [ve] Available Groups: Somali Support Available Languages: Afrikaans Support [af] Albanian Support [sq] Amazigh Support [ber] Asturian Support [ast] Azerbaijani Support [az] Basque Support [eu] Belarusian Support [be] Bosnian Support [bs] Brazilian Portuguese Support [pt_BR] Breton Support [br] Bulgarian Support [bg] Catalan Support [ca] Chichewa Support [ny] Coptic Support [cop] Croatian Support [hr] Czech Support [cs] Danish Support [da] Dutch Support [nl] English (UK) Support [en_GB] Esperanto Support [eo] Estonian Support [et] Faeroese Support [fo] Faroese Support [fo] Fijian Support [fj] Filipino Support [fil] Finnish Support [fi] French Support [fr] Frisian Support [fy] Friulian Support [fur] Gaelic Support [gd] Galician Support [gl] German Support [de] Greek Support [el] Hiligaynon Support [hil] Hungarian Support [hu] Icelandic Support [is] Indonesian Support [id] Interlingua Support [ia] Irish Support [ga] Italian Support [it] Kashmiri Support [ks] Kashubian Support [csb] Kazakh Support [kk] Kinyarwanda Support [rw] Kurdish Support [ku] Latin Support [la] Latvian Support [lv] Lithuanian Support [lt] Low Saxon Support [nds] Luxembourgish Support [lb] Macedonian Support [mk] Malagasy Support [mg] Malay Support [ms] Maltese Support [mt] Manx Support [gv] Maori Support [mi] Mongolian Support [mn] Nepali Support [ne] Northern Sotho Support [nso] Norwegian Support [nb] Occitan Support [oc] Persian Support [fa] Polish Support [pl] Portuguese Support [pt] Romanian Support [ro] Samoan Support [sm] Sanskrit Support [sa] Sardinian Support [sc] Serbian Support [sr] Sindhi Support [sd] Slovak Support [sk] Slovenian Support [sl] Southern Ndebele Support [nr] Southern Sotho Support [st] Swahili Support [sw] Swati Support [ss] Swedish Support [sv] Tagalog Support [tl] Tetum Support [tet] Tibetan Support [bo] Tonga Support [to] Tsonga Support [ts] Tswana Support [tn] Turkish Support [tr] Turkmen Support [tk] Ukrainian Support [uk] Upper Sorbian Support [hsb] Uzbek Support [uz] Vietnamese Support [vi] Walloon Support [wa] Welsh Support [cy] Xhosa Support [xh] Zulu Support [zu] Ok, so the above uses langonly and _mostly_ works ... which I didn't know about until about an hour ago, and Seth doesn't know about. So after discussing and worrying about it for a bit, I'm going to reassign to distribution for someone to say one of: 1. Yes, langonly should be used for that (it's part of the "spec") and any bugs will be fixed. 2. Nobody here has heard of langonly before today, but we will change it to mean what it seems to mean (so basically the same as #1). 3. We'll do some other spec change to comps. that yum can use in 6.1+ that will allow this kind of UI to happen. 4. Nobody here heard of langonly before today, comps makes everyone cry ... don't go near it (or do anything). I'd go with #1 - just key off of langonly, and we can fix bugs where it's missing. Ok, given Bill's response ... this has gone upstream in yum. So should be fine for 6.1. Tracking for 6.1.

Description of problem: When going a 'yum grouplist' it's very difficult to get a good view of what's available as languages and software is mixed. It's very difficult to find a group of special interest. Both software and languages uses the secondary wording 'Support', so the end-user cannot filter out all the languages using a simple 'grep -v Support' either. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All versions. How reproducible: yum grouplist Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum grouplist Actual results: On a (for example) RHEL6 server.
