Isn't "Sound and Video" a better group for these?
I was just about to write something like that (see also below). So I
took the chance remove the "sound emulators" group and added a "Sound
and Video" group.
Also note that the group definition was incomplete ;-) Groups that are
not defined in Fedora need a little bit more (see the bottom of Fedora's
comps.xml files for details). And defining a group just for two packages
IMHO is definitely not a good idea.
I remember that all
the emulators were in a group of their own, now they are in the
standard "Games and Entertainment". Probably there was a reason to do
it in this way.
There were mainly two reasons:
- we have no translators, hence all group that we define on our own will
show up as English in anaconda, yum, PackageKit, ...
- I feared that adding groups might create even more trouble to get the
anaconda support working
We can test the latter now that we know it works in general. But the
first point is still valid. I think it alone is a good enough reason to
try very hard *not* to add groups on our own.

I agree
Added.
and I think that lha should have type="default".
Is lha really still that common? But whatever: marked as default.
