dnf-groups-manager − DNF groups-manager Plugin
Create and edit groups repository metadata files.
dnf groups−manager [options] [package−name−spec [package−name−spec ...]]
groups−manager plugin is used to create or edit a group metadata file for a repository. This is often much easier than writing/editing the XML by hand. The 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.
<package−name−spec>
Package to add to a group or remove from a group.
All general DNF
options are accepted, see Options in dnf(8)
for details.
−−load=<path_to_comps.xml>
Load the groups metadata information from the specified file before performing any operations. Metadata from all files are merged together if the option is specified multiple times.
−−save=<path_to_comps.xml>
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=<path_to_comps.xml>
This is the same as loading and saving a file, however the "merge" file is loaded before any others and saved last.
Also print the result to stdout.
−−id=<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.

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.
