using add-group-pkg to add to build groups does not work

[Mátyás Selmeci]

Hi,

I tried to add packages to the "build" and "srpm-build" groups so that 
they will be installed for builds. The packages were successfully added, 
but they were not installed during builds. I looked in the 
"group_package_listing" table and notices that the "type" field of the 
new packages was "mandatory", but the type of old packages was 
"default". Changing type to "default" fixed the problem.

We're using koji 1.11.0.

Is this a known issue?

Thanks,
-Mat

dnf will only require packages to be installed if the type is
mandatory, afaik yum honours that as well.  What OS, yum version are
you using on your builders?
