Adding packages to a catalog group

When you publish a package to a catalog group, it appears in the software catalog in CapaInstaller InfoCenter, where users can choose to install it.

You add packages to other groups by dragging them or by using the buffer. Catalog groups work differently: you publish the package from its properties.
