Re: [Fedora-packaging] RFC: Creating meta group packages via comps

Napkin-ing this, you'd compare it, see the new packages, and then pop up:

New software available in the 'Games' group:

GnomePoker - Play poker against your friends! Lose all your money! HackSlashKillMaim - Role play as your favorite serial killer

[ Don't install ] [ Tell me more ] [ Ask me later ] [ Install new packages ]

or something along those lines.

You should be able to just run groupinstall again and it will only install the new stuff in that comps group.

But we don't: a) store what groups are installed on the box, to know how to automatically do this b) users may want to know about new optional packages, that this won't catch
