Once upon a time, Adam Williamson <adamwill(a)fedoraproject.org> said:
The difference between 'default' and 'mandatory' is
that if
a package is listed as 'mandatory', it *must* remain installed for dnf
to consider the group as 'installed'. If it's listed as 'default',
it
will be installed by default when the group is, but can be removed
without the group being considered to have been removed.
Jumping in because this brings a question to mind: does dnf thinking a
group is installed mean anything? For example, let's say comps is
changed to add a package (default/mandatory) to a group - will dnf say
"a-ha, I have this group installed, I need to add this package"?
If not... would that be desirable behavior?
