reading an online brief tutorial on RPM, and i was surprised to
see an explanation of an interesting variation of "rpm" i'd never
seen before -- the fact that you upgrade "groups" of related packages
by just the package name, like

  # rpm -Uvh samba

which allegedly will upgrade, in this case, the core package and
any client and serer packages as well.  i'd always used -U strictly
in the context of the fill package file name, never saw this 
variation before.

  how long has this been around?  and where are these package
groupings defined?  comps.xml?

  has this always been there and i've just missed it all this
time?  dang.
