there's nothing so simple that i can't take it and make it painfully
complicated. :-)
regarding group, i downloaded the json packages onto my fedora 9
system to identify the group and, not surprisingly, like many distros,
fedora breaks a lot of packages into two parts:
1) the run-time part (typically just shared libs)
2) the development part (which includes header files)
in the case of json, fedora supports two packages:
$ rpm -qi json-glib
...
Group : System Environment/Libraries
...
$ rpm -qi json-glib-devel
...
Group : Development/Libraries
...
since i'm assuming most people will want to build json under LTIB just
for the run-time part, i suspect the more appropriate group would be
"System Environment/Libraries", as it might be for most packages that
have that property.
