#587 dnf5 doesn't show the KDE and KDE Plasma Workspaces package groups
Opened by violetstone. Modified

When doing dnf group list, the KDE and KDE Plasma Workspaces package groups are not there. KDE Mobile, KDE Mobile Apps, and KDE Software Development are. When doing dnf4 group list the KDE and KDE Plasma Workspaces groups appear and can be interacted with (group install / group remove) as expected.


If it's helpful - I saw timaeos post on the Fedora KDE Matrix channel today that apparently dnf5 doesn't list groups tagged as "environments" when using group list - those have to be listed using the command dnf environment list.

However, for some reason, the commands to actually install those environments are still dnf group install

Sorry, I totally missed this pagure issue and ran into it on my own while messing with toolbox.

As @johnandmegh mentioned, the listing of the environment is separate from the group list now. It's... not clear what benefit this is. We can make the base group that the environment tag uses visible in the group list but there is a possibility for confusion because that base group won't necessarily provide all of the applications expected in the base Fedora KDE / kinoite experience.

The installation instructions on the wiki have been updated

We can ask the SIG if they'd like to make the base groups visible in the group list since the dnf5 environment list separate makes it less discoverable

Any updates on this?

This is unfortunately a dnf5 thing, it probably needs to be bubbled up to them. https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5
