An explanation of the four (4) different levels for packages is here, along with most of the other information, guidelines and standards for comps.xml: - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_use_and_edit_comps.xml_for_package_groups As Jason pointed out, "yum groupinfo" is a nice, easy, client-based interface into the comps.xml for any group, its packages and the levels for packages. And like "yum grouplist -v", one can use "yum groupinfo -v" as well. The latter will give you the Anaconda installation or YUM repo an installed packaged has come from, or the YUM repo it is available from. -- Bryan P.S. As always, one can script the output from YUM to one's taste or fetch the comps.xml directly and work on it with their preferred XML method(s). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Boxman" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 10, 2012 7:54:41 PM yum groupinfo [name of group] Keep in mind the packages listed may themselves pull down dependencies. -- Bryan J Smith <[email protected]> +1 (407) 489-7013 (M) Red Hat Consulting http://www.redhat.com/consulting ----------------------------------------------------- Platform, Middleware, Cloud ...
