scanned the dnf man page, did not see an immediate solution so i'll
ask here:
is there any way to dynamically tag or label packages during dnf
install so i can remove them all later by that tag or label? on more
than one occasion, i've had to install dozens (or hundreds) of
packages, *knowing* that i would need them only for a while, at which
time it would be nice to be able to remove them all via that tag or
label.
i guess i'm after something i would think of as a "dynamic group",
where i could run, say:
$ sudo dnf install --tag="my_project" docker
$ sudo dnf install --tag="my_project" erlang
and possibly other totally unrelated packages, then toss them all
later with:
$ sudo dnf remove --tag="new_project"
is there anything like this? (and, yes, i can appreciate the
possibility for conflicts when an initially "tagged" package would
later be installed explicitly, and so on.)
