Find out what is in a YUM Group (Red Hat)

Question

Hi:

When I run 'yum grouplist' in Red Hat - I received the following under the 'Available Groups' list.

How do I find out what packages are in a group (e.g 'Development Tools')? I would like to install specific packages and not a whole group (especially if I am not sure what is in the group).

Thanks.

yum grouplist

   DNS Name Server
   Development Tools
   Engineering and Scientific

   MySQL Database
   News Server
   PostgreSQL Database

   Web Server
   Windows File Server

Answer 1

Try yum groupinfo

From the groupinfo section of the manpage:

Is used to give the description and package list of a group (and which type those packages are marked as). Note that you can use the yum-filter-data and yum-list-data plugins to get/use the data the other way around (Ie. what groups own packages need updating). If you pass the -v option, to enable verbose mode, then the package names are matched against installed/available packages similar to the list command.
