= Features/YumGroupsAsObjects = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/YumGroupsAsObjects Feature owner(s): James Antill <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Change the default yum configuration from group_command=compat to group_command=objects. == Detailed description == Currently yum groups work as a simple substitution, so "yum group remove foo" works as though you took every package from foo and passed it to "yum remove". This tends to not be what users expect, for example "yum group install kde- desktop" and then "yum group remove kde-desktop" will end up removing packages (like abrt-desktop). This feature changes that so that groups are installed as real objects, meaning that when a user does "yum group install foo" yum will mark that the packages from foo are being installed (as before) but also that a group called foo is being installed and that those packages are installed because of it. Later if the group is removed, yum will remove the group and only those packages that were installed because of the group install/upgrade commands. _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
