Hi,
I've noticed with DNF5 the commands "grouplist" and
"groupinstall"
have been removed. I've seen package install instructions on the
net to
use those commands as being specific instructions for Fedora.
Before DNF
became DNF5 those two commands were available, I had used them
several
times. It seems that DNF5 has replaced those commands with "group
list"
and "group install". Is it possible to create aliases of those two
commands within DNF5 or do I have to raise a formal defect for the
regression?
Questions like this are probably best researched at the upstream repo
(although I believe we do have DNF contributors here too).
These issues indicate that the removal of 'group list' and 'group
install' were quite explicit:
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20grouplist
Just a silly question on raising defects, if one is raised what is
the likelihood of it being fixed
Again, probably best answered upstream. My reading of those previous
two issues is that you will have to live with the changes or implement
something yourself but YMMV.
If we need to raise issues upstream for dnf where do we raise them?
The instructions I found on the net for ensuring all the media packages
needed for vlc to play blu-rays may have been for dnf4, as it was also
using a method for identifying the group that in dnf5, in my view, is
broken. Groups have an ID and a Name, and in dnf4 you could specify the
group by name enclosed in double quotes, in dnf5 it says the value
specified in double quotes doesn't exist even though a "group list"
displays that name.
