Dnf5 functionality

Ask Fedora
1

Howdy,

I’m a newbie here, but have been using Linux since 1994 with slackware and then redhat .

I have written a graphical frontend for dnf5 to mimic the functions found in Debian’s Synaptic. The problem I am having is listing packages that are contained in a particular group. I can’t seem to find a way to do that.

Am I missing the command to do this seemingly simple task? I don’t mind directly using the databases, but I don’t find the linkages in their either. This is the last item that needs to be added to the program, so any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
— Jem

Try a command like dnf group info <group_name>.

Thank you, that does help. How complete is this option along with the leaves command?

I have sort of avoided comps, but I can use it to do exactly what I want. Now to figure out how. :slight_smile:

Did you see API Reference — dnf5 documentation?

Yes I did, thanks.
