HEADS UP to all packagers: For this to work properly you must make sure 
all the *binary* packages a user might want to (de)select in anaconda 
are listed in one of groups in our comps.xml files.


So *pretty please*, please look at this URLs:

http://cvs.rpmfusion.org/viewvc/comps/comps-f10.xml.in?root=free&view=markup
http://cvs.rpmfusion.org/viewvc/comps/comps-f10.xml.in?root=nonfree&view=markup

Are all the interesting binary rpms that get build from the packages you 
maintain listed there? If not please consider to add them; the comps 
directory can be found in the root of the free and nonfree directories 
in CVS; they will get pushed to the repo with the next push.


Further: Please make sure that all the packages that a user will likely 
want by default are listed as such in those groups where it makes sense.

Examples: Right now gnome-mplayer, gstreamer-plugins-ugly and 
gstreamer-ffmpeg are marked as default for all users that have the GNOME 
group selected (that is the default). People that disable GNOME and 
enable KDE will get amarok-extras-freeworld and k3b-extras-freeworld by 
default (do they also want the gstreamer stuff these days?).

/me wonders if xine-lib-extras-freeworld should be marked as default for 
GNOME, KDE or in general as well

Hints how to use comps.xml can be found at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CompsXml

If you are unsure if, where or how your packages should get listed 
please ask for advice on the list or on IRC.


And another note: Please also check the comps.xml for saneness. I 
suppose there are some old packages still in the current file that were 
dropped over the past few months. tia!
