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=<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.

       --remove
              Instead of adding packages remove them. Note that the packages are removed from all
              sections (default, mandatory and optional).

       --dependencies
              Also include the names of the direct dependencies for each package specified.
