Dear packagers,

Some progress has happened on the RPM group move. Thanks a lot.
However there is still a lot to do before the Beta 1 and the mass-rebuild.

The main categories that need still to be changed are:

Obsolete group       | number of remaining packages

Books/Computer books   21
Books/Howtos           2
Books/Other            26
Graphics               296
Office                 134
Sound                  419
Video                  440

Total = 1338

With more than 1338 packages left, and less than 100 maintainers, that 
means that everyone probably has several packages to fix :-P.

For these packages, it is mostly about sending them to the different 
subgroups mentioned in the policy:

I'll send more regular updates on the progress of this task.

Meanwhile, please please fix!

Thanks!
