SYNOPSIS

11       dnf   groups-manager  [options]  [package-name-spec  [package-name-spec
12       ...]]
13

DESCRIPTION

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

ARGUMENTS

22       <package-name-spec>
23              Package to add to a group or remove from a group.
24

OPTIONS

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.
56
57       --description=<description>
58              The description to use for the group.
59
60       --display-order=<display_order>
61              Change the integer which controls the order groups are presented
62              in, for example in dnf grouplist.
63
64       --translated-name=<lang:text>
65              A translation of the group name in the given language. The  syn‐

67
68       --translated-description=<lang:text>
69              A  translation  of  the group description in the given language.

80              of  the  specified group, the default is to use the default sec‐
