5.2. Selecting a package group

Customize the blueprint with package groups. The groups list describes the groups of packages that you want to install into the image.

The package groups are defined in the repository metadata. Each group has a descriptive name used primarily for display in user interfaces, and an ID that is commonly used in Kickstart files. In this case, you must use the ID to list a group. Groups have three different ways of categorizing their packages: mandatory, default, and optional. Only mandatory and default packages are installed in the blueprints. It is not possible to select optional packages.

The name attribute is a required string and must match exactly the package group ID in the repositories.
