Nothing in particular actually. But as it showed 'disc1' and no other
discs being released I was confused with what exactly was in that
repository ;-).

The no groups error usually comes from lacking comps.xml in the
repository metadata. Revisor uses that comps to create the list of
Categories and Groups during package selection.
