DNF groups-manager Plugin¶
Create and edit groups repository metadata files.
Synopsis¶
dnf groups-manager [options] [package-name-spec [package-name-spec ...]]
Description¶
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.
Arguments¶
<package-name-spec>- Package to add to a group or remove from a group.
Options¶
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.
