[arch-general] Package groups
Is it OK for a package in [community] to be part of a package group? AFAIK package groups dont exist in [community] or if they do they are not the same as the ones in extra. eg. http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15053 http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/community/gnome/empathy/PKGBUILD?view=markup&root=community empathy gets to be part of gnome-extra -- Greg

Yeah, as far as I know, this shouldn't happen, as it breaks "pacman -S gnome-extra" in a way

I don't think it is a problem. pacman will just ask for each repo if you want to install the packages of the group, but it is fine.

Well maybe it is indeed a problem after all, because it is not clear from which repo the packages are picked from. Besides that, it might not be a good idea in general that any repo can add packages to group existing in core/extra. So if the overlord says it is not allowed, it is fine and it makes sense :)
