|
| |
+ default install profile
|
| |
+ The install profile used when no other install profile is specified.
|
| |
+ It is always called `"default"`. When the default profile is empty,
|
| |
+ it indicates the module is intended solely to help manage dependencies
|
| |
+ for other modules, rather than being installed by end users directly.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ install profile
|
| |
+ A named set of packages within a module that can readily be installed
|
| |
+ with a single command. Akin to package groups at the distro level, but
|
| |
+ specific to the module that defines them.
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ For example, the PostgreSQL module's `"client"` profile installs only the
|
| |
+ client libraries, instead of the full database server::
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ dnf install postgresql:9.6/client
|
| |
+
|
| |
+ system profile
|
| |
+ The system profile nominates a set of modules that it expects to have
|
| |
+ available for installation, and the default stream to use within each
|
| |
+ of those modules when no specific stream is selected.
