Description d. johnson 2015-09-27 19:27:06 UTC 
Description of problem:

DNF has no replacement for "show-installed -f kickstart"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

all.

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run "show-installed -f kickstart -o /tmp/installed.txt" to produce a list of high level deps you could use with "dnf kickstart"
2. there is no dnf version of this tool.
3.

Actual results:

nothing.

Expected results:

a viable text file to use with 'dnf kickstart' or inside an anaconda kickstart file's %package list.

Additional info:
Comment 1 Honza Silhan 2015-10-13 13:18:23 UTC 
`dnf repoquery --installed > /tmp/installed.txt` is not enough? Do you really need that file minimal?
Comment 2 d. johnson 2015-10-14 03:27:07 UTC 
please run rhel7 or something old enough that still has show-installed.

The output is incredibly useful.

on dnf based systems, this output is simply unavailable.  it is NOT the same thing as 'rpm -qa' at all. 'dnf repoquery --installed' is the longer wait version of simply 'rpm -qa'.  It does not show groups.  It does not actually help create a useful and easy to read kickstart file.

See for example, https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/spin-kickstarts.git/tree/fedora-workstation-packages.ks
Comment 3 Igor Gnatenko 2015-12-12 19:21:05 UTC 
Please provide exactly what do you expecting.
Comment 4 d. johnson 2015-12-12 19:31:27 UTC 
Easy.  I'm expecting output exactly like the spins already use.

For example:

https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/spin-kickstarts.git/tree/fedora-cinnamon-packages.ks

This does not simply run 'rpm -qa' or 'dnf repoquery -installed', it lists the smallest number of lines that a kickstart would use to reproduce the same installation.
Comment 5 Igor Gnatenko 2015-12-12 19:36:18 UTC 
Show exact output of both commands and provide what you are expecting. Not just link and few words.

Comment 8 d. johnson 2015-12-13 00:09:31 UTC 
This attached output is from a simple bootup, and run both the commands in question.  

You can see that one file is very concise and easy to read, with only top-level deps listed.  

The other file is every single package installed, without regard to any dep-tree.
Comment 9 Igor Gnatenko 2015-12-13 09:11:36 UTC 
ok, makes sense, but i dont have time to implement it now.
Comment 10 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2016-07-21 12:40:28 UTC 
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
