I'm quite sure I started with the same group names. But:

- maybe the Fedora names changed over time (I suppose the comps.xml I 
used as a start for livna might have been for FC6 or something like 
that) and we forgot to adjust our
- we iirc hadn't imported all the translation files (are they under a 
free license?), which I suppose might be the root case for the problem

Well, doesn't matter much now. I'm more interested in the way forward. 
So what would you suggest that RPM Fusion does in the future? Import the 
.po files from fedora to our cvs, adjust the group description and 
grouid in our comps files to match the ones from Fedora and make sure 
they stay in sync(¹)?

(¹) the latter shouldn't be to hard to do, but nevertheless is a bit 
error prone over time...

Just wondering and making sure I get this right: What exactly do you 
mean by "changed" in the latter sentence?

(1) just use the same ids and description and list only the packages 
from RPM Fusion in the rpmfusion comps.xml files

(2) import the whole comps.xml stuff from Fedora, keep it in sync and 
add the RPM Fusion packages

I suppose you meant (1)?

P.S.: Why the heck hasn't anybody told me the above when I asked for a 
better way to fix the mess livna created a few months ago?
