So..... yum search all compiler will also search package descriptions and URLs (in addition to the default of just package names and summaries). That includes both gcc-c++ and clang. I don't know if there are yum/dnf plugins to include tags from https://apps.fedoraproject.org/tagger/ (as previously established, the Gnome Software program *does*). But that would be an interesting thing to add. -- Matthew Miller -- Fedora Project -- <mat...@fedoraproject.org> -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
