dnf-groups-manager - DNF groups-manager Plugin
Create and edit groups repository metadata files.
dnf groups-manager [options] [package-name-spec
[package-name-spec ...]]
groups-manager plugin is used to create or edit a group metadata
file for a repository. This is often much easier than writing/editing the
XML by hand. The groups-manager can load an entire file of groups metadata
and either create a new group or edit an existing group and then write all
of the groups metadata back out.
- <package-name-spec>
- Package to add to a group or remove from a group.
All general DNF options are accepted, see Options in
dnf(8) for details.
- --load=<path_to_comps.xml>
- Load the groups metadata information from the specified file before
performing any operations. Metadata from all files are merged together if
the option is specified multiple times.
- --save=<path_to_comps.xml>
- Save the result to this file. You can specify the name of a file you are
loading from as the data will only be saved when all the operations have
been performed. This option can also be specified multiple times.
- --merge=<path_to_comps.xml>
- This is the same as loading and saving a file, however the
“merge” file is loaded before any others and saved
last.
- --print
- Also print the result to stdout.
- --id=<id>
- The id to lookup/use for the group. If you don’t specify an
<id>, but do specify a name that doesn’t refer to an
existing group, then an id for the group is generated based on the
name.
- -n <name>,
--name=<name>
- The name to lookup/use for the group. If you specify an existing group id,
then the group with that id will have it’s name changed to this
value.
- --description=<description>
- The description to use for the group.
- --display-order=<display_order>
- Change the integer which controls the order groups are presented in, for
example in dnf grouplist.
- --translated-name=<lang:text>
- A translation of the group name in the given language. The syntax is
lang:text. Eg. en:my-group-name-in-english
- --translated-description=<lang:text>
- A translation of the group description in the given language. The syntax
is lang:text. Eg. en:my-group-description-in-english.
- --user-visible
- Make the group visible in dnf grouplist (this is the default).
- --not-user-visible
- Make the group not visible in dnf grouplist.
- --mandatory
- Store the package names specified within the mandatory section of the
specified group, the default is to use the default section.
- --optional
- Store the package names specified within the optional section of the
specified group, the default is to use the default section.
