Thank you for reporting this.

I use our RPM utilities, so do not want to install dnfdragora to try - mixing DNF with RPM. Believing the complaint, assigning this to Neal, the official maintainer; CC'ing Angelo who also has done many commits to this SRPM.

Honestly i didn't get it. Could you please add a screenshot on such an option i don't find?
Thanks

Comment 3 Dave Hodgins 2021-10-21 00:09:08 CEST

The option being referred to is the rpmdrake's default option of only showing
packages with gui. The enhancement being requested it to add a similar feature
to dnfdragora.

Ah it's an enhancement, ok! :D
Well IIRC rpmdrake use some hackeries to do that reading a file gui.lst... I think Neal can explain that dnf has a better way to manage that, but if i'm not wrong mageia needs to work on metadata or such. But i leave to Neal to talk about it...
