Hey y'all:
I have noticed that the XFce files get placed into some odd
locations for " Group " in the RPM db categories, as
compared with other similar types of pkgs/files. I would
like for that to change with XFce4. These are some
suggestions to change the spec file "Group", where
applicable:
I think XFce deserves a category of its own. I think the
name " XFce " is probably better than using "XFce4" for the
future ease of maintenance, BICBW...
SUGGEST: put XFce4 pkgs in " Graphical desktop/XFce "
--Gnome, Icewm, KDE, WindowMaker, Enlightenment,... are in
" Graphical desktop/<DEname> ";
--note that there is no "s" and no capital on
'desktop';
SUGGEST: put xfce(4) libraries required for runtime in "
Graphical desktop/XFce " with the other files required for
running it;
--that seems to be the general way, at least for
Gnome;
--they may need to go with the -devel pkgs so
Development/XFce is an alt. Group suggestion
SUGGEST: put xfce(4)-devel pkgs in Development/XFce
--Gnome, Icewm, KDE, GTK+,... are in "Development/<name>";
SUGGEST: put dbh in "Databases" (not Database)
--dbh belongs in "Databases" with the rest of the
database"s" pkgs
-- the "Database" category was really a
typo/mistake, ithink
Among other things, those little changes will help finding
the xfce4 files in the rpm db when searching manually thru
a (X) pkg mgr which is sometimes necessary(esp. when one
does not know the name of the file desired).
I can make a list if you want/need specific file/spec
names.
WDYT?
Thanks for listening.

Have A Great Day!
