Hi,

is there a possibility to require a group in a RPM package like in a kickstart configuration?

Hi,

I build a small devirate of Fedora for intenal use. The installation is done by using kickstart. At first we managed the depnedencies in the kickstart file.

Now we alo want convert normal Fedora installations to our image. Therefore I build a "root" package which requires all dependencies of the derivate.

In the kickstart file I used for example the base group. Now I have to fease the used groups and specify all packages separately.

Hi,

You can just build a meta package that pulls in all the other packages that you want. Trivial to create.

Sorry for my complicated description, but this is exactly what I am doing.

Hi,

Yes. That should work fine.
