dnf and yum are showing different information for the command {dnf/yum} groups list.
Particularly, not all the DE/WM seem to be listed in dnf output but it is listed in yum. I am just wondering if this is a bug or if it's intentional. I would much appreciate it if someone can point me to relevant documentation.
Thanks!
# rpm -qa dnf dnf-0.4.7-1.fc20.noarch
Here is what I get
# dnf groups list Installed Groups: LibreOffice Editors Electronic Lab Milkymist Network Servers Office/Productivity Security Lab Text-based Internet Graphical Internet Sound and Video Hardware Support System Tools Fonts Design Suite Development Tools Available Groups: Fedora Eclipse FreeIPA Server Educational Software Engineering and Scientific Medical Applications Robotics Window Managers 3D Printing GNOME Desktop Environment KDE (K Desktop Environment) Games and Entertainment Administration Tools Authoring and Publishing Books and Guides Cloud Infrastructure RPM Development Tools C Development Tools and Libraries

yum treats 'environments' as groups that can be selected. It appears DNF does not.

If that's true - it might be a tad inconvenient?

File a bug report against dnf noting the difference and you will get an authoritative answer as to whether it is a bug or a intended design
