detailed descriptions of the categories?
 

Is there a document somewhere that provides a description of each of the
rpm categories? I.e., describing what a software package must do in
order to qualify to be put in that category? I'm creating packages for
some of my software, but it seems like it could fit in three different
categories. (The categories names are quite vague anyway.)

What "rpm categories" do you mean? I can only guess what that is.

Perhaps the "Group" tag? If so, some packages don't set it anymore. Others
use existing packages for inspiration.

Or perhaps you refer to the groups in the "comps.xml" file?
