As can be seen when the comps groups get broken in a main release, there are people who rely on it for deploying the system and expect that certain choices are 'made'. I would go with either a new symbol or keyword. This will also help that people will also expect that the commands dnf list, dnf remove, dnf <> will give the same data as dnf install does. dnf list wordpress gives me [root@f26 ~]# dnf list wordpress Last metadata expiration check: 0:39:22 ago on 2017-08-02T09:07:22 EDT. Available Packages wordpress.noarch 4.8-1.fc26 fedora If I do an 'dnf install wordpress' I expect to get that. Even if there is a wordpress group. I don't see that. I need a different syntax to see groups. Available Modules wordpress section.. my script will now be confused. and I will definitely confused if I get a wordpress module of a different version than what the dnf list gave me. > > -- > Matthew Miller > <mat...@fedoraproject.org> > Fedora Project Leader > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > -- Stephen J Smoogen.
