DNF-GROUPS-MANAGER(8) dnf-plugins-core DNF-GROUPS-MANAGER(8)

NAME

dnf-groups-manager - 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 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 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.
This is the same as loading and saving a file, however the “merge” file is loaded before any others and saved last.
Also print the result to stdout.
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.
