NAME

       yum-groups-manager - redirecting to 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.
