NAME

yum-groups-manager - create and edit yum's group metadata

SYNOPSIS

yum-groups-manager [options] [packages]

DESCRIPTION

yum-groups-manager is used to create or edit a group metadata file for a yum repository.
This is often much easier than writing/editing the XML by hand. The yum-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.

OPTIONS

-h, --help
Display a help message, and then quit.

--version
Display a version message, and then quit.

-n, --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.

--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.

--description
The description to use for the group.

--mandatory
Store the package names specified within the mandatory section of the specified
group, the default is to use the default section. This overrides the optional
argument.

--optional
Store the package names specified within the optional section of the specified
group, the default is to use the default section. This option is overridden by the
mandatory argument.

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

--not-user-visible
Make the group not visible in yum grouplist.

--user-visible
Make the group visible in yum grouplist (this is the default).

--display-order
Change the integer which controls the order groups are presented in, for example in
yum grouplist.

--load Load the groups metadata information from the specified file, before performing any
operations. This option can be specified multiple times.

--save 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
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, if saving or merging.

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

EXAMPLES

Create a new group metadata file, with a group called yum containing all the packages that
start with yum:
yum-groups-manager --name YUM --save groups.xml 'yum*'

After the above command, load the groups.xml data, work with the yum group, make the group
not user visible, and remove the yum-skip-broken and yum-priorities packages from it:
yum-groups-manager -n YUM --merge groups.xml --remove yum-skip-broken yum-
priorities --not-user-visible

After the above commands, add a description and a translated name to the yum group:
yum-groups-manager -n YUM --merge groups.xml --description 'This is a group with
most of the yum packages in it' --translated-name 'en:yum packages'
