Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 179503
"Documentation" package group needed in Anaconda

*** NOTE: Bug originally entered as HIGH priority as an attention-getting strategy, and due to closing (but hopefully still slightly open) window of opportunity. This can be reclassified as ENHANCEMENT without hurting anyone's feelings. *** Description of problem: The Fedora Documentation Project is ready to start packaging documentation for FC5, hopefully in Extras by the time of FC5test3. To make documentation installation more seamless for the user, we'd like a group listed in anaconda where the user can pick up the Yum Software Management Guide, Developers Guide, etc., etc. The documentation will automatically install via scrollkeeper and various support files are deposited in correct places for GNOME yelp, KDE khelpcenter, and the Main Menu. (Eventually we may try to integrate with the default Firefox installation, but for right now these were the targets we could hit quickly and effectively.) A name like "Official Documentation" might be good, although alternatives are welcome. If we can't hit this for FC5, if someone could comment to this bug that would be helpful, so we can make other marketing plans, such as in the release notes.
This is all handled by having packages with appropriate groupings in the comps file. anaconda doesn't have any hard coded idea of what the package groups are (and shouldn't).
What do you say, comps maintainer(s)? Reopening and reassigning there for input.
If the packages are in Extras, then they go in the Extras comps file. There's support for a comps file per repo and with that, things will Just Work (tm)
The packages are in Extras, not Core, so the change has to go into Extras comps. Closing this bug as NOTABUG.
