NAME
       yum-groups-manager - create and edit yum's group metadata

SYNOPSIS
       yum-groups-manager [options] [packages]

DESCRIPTION
       yum-groups-manager  is used to create or edit a group metadata file for
       a yum repository. This is often much easier than	 writting/editing  the
       XML  by hand.  The yum-groups-manager can load an entire file of groups
       metadata and either create a new group or edit an  existing  group  and
       then write all of the groups metadata back out.

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
	      Display a help message, and then quit.

       --version
	      Display a version message, and then quit.

       -n, --name
	      The name to lookup/use for the group. If you specify an existing
	      group id, then the group	with  that  id	will  have  it's  name
	      changed to this value.

       --id   The  id to lookup/use for the group. If you don't specify an id,
	      but do specify a name that doesn't refer to an  existing	group,
	      then an id for the group is generated based on the name.

       --description
	      The description to use for the group.

       --mandatory
	      Store  the  package names specified within the mandatory section
	      of the specified group, the default is to use the	 default  sec‐
	      tion. This overrides the optional argument.

       --optional
	      Store the package names specified within the optional section of
	      the specified group, the default is to use the default  section.
	      This option is overridden by the mandatory argument.

       --dependencies
	      Also include the names of the direct dependencies for each pack‐
	      age specified.

       --not-user-visible
	      Make the group not visible in yum grouplist.

       --user-visible
	      Make the group visible in yum grouplist (this is the default).

       --display-order
	      Change the integer which controls the order groups are presented
	      in, for example in yum grouplist.

       --load Load  the	 groups	 metadata information from the specified file,
	      before performing any operataions. This option can be  specified
	      multiple times.

       --save Save the result to this file, you can specify the name of a file
	      you are loading from as the data will only be saved when all the
	      operations  have	been performed. This option can also be speci‐
	      fied multiple times.

       --merge
	      This is the same as loading  and	saving	a  file,  however  the
	      "merge" file is loaded before any others and saved last.

       --print
	      Also print the result to stdout, if saving or merging.

       --remove
	      Instead  of  adding package, remove them. Note that the packages
	      are removed from all sections (default, mandatory and optional).

       --translated-name
	      This is another name for the group within the locale given.  The
	      syntax is lang:text. Eg. en:my-group-name-in-english

       --translated-description
	      This  is	another	 description  for  the group within the locale
	      given. The syntax is lang:text. Eg.  en:my-group-description-in-
	      english.

YUM OPTIONS
       The  following  options are meant to be the same as those with the same
       name in yum.

       -c CONFIG, --config=CONFIG

       --quiet

       --verbose

       --enablerepo

       --disablerepo

       --noplugins

       -C, --cache

       --tempcache


EXAMPLES
       Create a new group metadata file, with a group  called  yum  containing
       all the packages that start with yum:
	       yum-groups-manager --name YUM --save groups.xml 'yum*'

       After  the  above  command, load the groups.xml data, work with the yum
       group, make the group not user visible, and remove the  yum-skip-broken
       and yum-priorities packages from it:
	       yum-groups-manager -n YUM --merge groups.xml --remove yum-skip-
	      broken yum-priorities --not-user-visible

       After the above commands, add a description and a  translated  name  to
       the yum group:
	       yum-groups-manager  -n  YUM  --merge  groups.xml	 --description
	      'This is a group with most of the yum packages in	 it'  --trans‐
	      lated-name 'en:yum packages'

FILES
       yum-groups-manager  uses	 the  yum libraries for retrieving information
       and packages. If no configuration file is specified,  the  default  yum
       configuration will be used.

       /etc/yum.conf
       /etc/yum/repos.d/

BUGS
       There are a couple of options you can't set, yet. Most notabley you cannot put
       package names into the conditional section (where they are installed with
       groupinstall only if another package is installed).

       Other than that, there are no bugs, but should you find any, you should first
       consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq and if unsuccessful
       in finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org.
       To file a bug use http://bugzilla.redhat.com for Fedora/RHEL/Centos
       related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
