#57 Document details about installing modules with empty profiles etc.
Closed 2 years ago by ppisar. Opened 4 years ago by asamalik.

When a resolution to the Bug 1669527 - dnf module install <module> - just enable it, without installing it. bug is agreed on, document it here.


The bug was resolved in Fedora 29: DNF now reports an error when installing a module without specifying a profile if there is no default profile set. Verified in libdnf-0.66.0-1.fc37.

Empty profiles are explicitly allowed https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/modularity/policies/packaging-guidelines/#_profiles: It is possible to define a profile that doesn’t install any packages. But broken in libmodulemd https://github.com/fedora-modularity/libmodulemd/issues/593. I could verify DNF behavior because of the libmodulemd bug.
