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  writing/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 operations. 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 notably 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 AT lists.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.
