2.2.2.3. Packages Changes
These changes affect the %packages section:
The --ignoreDeps and --resolveDeps arguments have been removed. Anaconda automatically resolves dependencies, but will skip installation of packages that have unmet dependencies.
If you want to get the exact same set of packages via Kickstart that you would in a default GUI install accepting all of the defaults, add the following:
%packages --defaultPackages
%end
You can also optionally specify the arcitecture of packages that you want installed for multi-arch installs. For instance:
%packages
glibc.i686
%end
This would add the x86 glibc package to the set, which can be handy on an x86-64 system that requires the x86 packages for compatibility reasons.
It is not possible to audit and migrate all of the packages and groups in the %packages section. Some packages and groups have been removed, some added, and some have had their name changed. Please refer to the Release Notes for more details.
