Nicolas,
Thank you! But I am Dyslexic and very mono-linguistic; at least I could
read the actual commands, if not all the wonderful comments...

Thing is on armhfp, I do not have “X Window System” or "Xfce"
I can partially answer your question, since I'm running Xfce both on my
workstation and my laptop.
I switched to Xfce with Fedora 20 and have put up with Gnome on my
Centos systems so far.
Here's my custom script that installs a full-blow bells-and-whistles
Xfce desktop from a minimal CentOS installation, without any
unnecessary
packages.
https://github.com/kikinovak/centos-7-desktop-xfce/blob/master/postinstall.sh
Once you've installed the "X Window System" group and you invoke "yum
groupinstall Xfce", the group consists of not much more than a dozen
explicit core packages (Thunar, xfdesktop, xfce4-panel, etc.) and then
-
of course - all the dependencies are installed. Give this a spin on an
x86_64 machine and then write down this relatively short list.
I don't have an x86_64 machine with Centos on it. I would have to play
with Qemu VM for centos on this Fedora 28 notebook. All my servers
(other than the ClearOS one) are ARM.
The armhfp repos (including epel) do not have either the "X Windows
System" or "Xfce" (and any sub-groups that calls). So I am asking for
the content of those groups. Hopefully the source scripts so I can
modify them (as needed) for armhfp.
It would seem that there is a source file somewhere in the source tree
with the script(s) contents.
thanks
In the file
5307666922f0cd10058b04791f3f596cfcaab48df6fdd6cf847f349bd455e0bd-comps-Everything.x86_64.xml
from the repodata in the Epel 7 repository there is the following for the
Xfce group, is this helpful to you?
Yes! I can pull out the rpm list and build a file to feed into yum.
Can you point out the URL for all the groups? I am also going to need
the "X Windows System" group, I believe (and should compare it to the
Server GUI group).
Thanks
The comps file i searched was (for example)
http://fedora-epel.mirror.lstn.net/7/x86_64/repodata/5307666922f0cd10058b04791f3f596cfcaab48df6fdd6cf847f349bd455e0bd-comps-Everything.x86_64.xml
you can choose any Fedora/Epel mirror
But the "X Window System" group is in CentOS base, look for one of those
mirrors (for example)
http://mirror.atlanticmetro.net/centos/7.5.1804/os/x86_64/repodata/d87379a47bc2060f833000b9cef7f9670195fe197271d37fce5791e669265e8b-c7-x86_64-comps.xml
do
grep "<name>" your-comps.xml-fil
to see all the names
then page it and search for "X Window System" in your case
Big help here. With this and http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/YumGroups
I should be able to create my own repo with the groups I need, then hand
it off to the armhfp maintainers.
