13
15 groups-manager plugin is used to create or edit a group metadata file
16 for a repository. This is often much easier than writing/editing the
17 XML by hand. The groups-manager can load an entire file of groups meta‐
18 data and either create a new group or edit an existing group and then
19 write all of the groups metadata back out.
20
22 <package-name-spec>
23 Package to add to a group or remove from a group.
24
26 All general DNF options are accepted, see Options in dnf(8) for de‐
27 tails.
28
29 --load=<path_to_comps.xml>
30 Load the groups metadata information from the specified file be‐
31 fore performing any operations. Metadata from all files are
32 merged together if the option is specified multiple times.
33
34 --save=<path_to_comps.xml>
35 Save the result to this file. You can specify the name of a file
36 you are loading from as the data will only be saved when all the
37 operations have been performed. This option can also be speci‐
38 fied multiple times.
39
40 --merge=<path_to_comps.xml>
41 This is the same as loading and saving a file, however the
42 "merge" file is loaded before any others and saved last.
43
44 --print
45 Also print the result to stdout.
46
47 --id=<id>
48 The id to lookup/use for the group. If you don't specify an
49 <id>, but do specify a name that doesn't refer to an existing
50 group, then an id for the group is generated based on the name.
51
52 -n <name>, --name=<name>
53 The name to lookup/use for the group. If you specify an existing
54 group id, then the group with that id will have it's name
55 changed to this value.
