A (private) dnf group for group install

[jpbn (Jaap Bosman)]

Now I am using a script to install and update a list of programs I need. (found it on the www somewhere)

# sudo ./fedora-app-re-installer.sh
rpm -U https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
rpm -U https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
#skype repository
curl -o /etc/yum.repos.d/skype-stable.repo https://repo.skype.com/rpm/stable/skype-stable.repo
rpm -U https://zoom.us/client/latest/zoom_x86_64.rpm


pkgs=" 
aspell
audacity
musescore
bluefish

gnome-tweak-tool

ffmpeg

"
sudo dnf install  $pkgs

But the script fails when an update is not available.

How should the script go on after an program is not available ?
2nd question Could I make a dnf group to avoid this problem?

To ignore error set strict option to 0 ,example:

sudo dnf install geany --setopt=strict=0

Group representation and created in repositories.

you can try make empty rpm package requires this packages .

On a side note, consider https://flathub.org/ for Skype and Zoom. Flatpaks offer sandboxing, a nice to have additional layer of protection from proprietary software.
