..except what rpmlint thinks are "correct" groups is miles longer a list than
what's in GROUPS as distributed with rpm.
rpmlint thinks what you tell it to think in the config file :) For
example, the default config in the fedora.us rpmlint package contains
only the groups in /usr/share/doc/rpm-*/GROUPS, while the configuration
we use in JPackage has the
freshmeat.net categories.
The vanilla upstream configuration as well as some other parts in
rpmlint is in many regards Mandrake-specific, and should be tweaked
according to what one considers "correct".
