Hi,

Newbie questions regarding group definition for own custom yum repositories for installatino and upgrade systems.

I have created my own package repositories for FC4 and FC5, and created metadata files with createrepo command. Then I could install individual pacakges without problems.

But my question is: How I can define my own group(s) like redhat did? do I have to write a similar xml file? if so then where can I find a document for this task?

If I create a group definition file, which commands I have to run to put it into functioning?

At last, How can I change redhat's group XML file? I don't like its idea of "base", "mandate", "optional and default on", "optional and default off", this make it interactive-friendly but largescale-terrible.

I like a idea of "either in group and always on, or just not in this group", so that it will be much easier for central non-interactive installation and distribution upgrade. If my idea reasonable?

Please help this newbie. Thanks a lot.
