Description Merlin Mathesius 2018-05-17 14:42:40 UTC

Description of problem:
Currently "dnf module list" displays a subset of available profiles. It would be a significant user experience improvement to hide some of the special profile names that are either available (explicitly or implicitly) in every module or are somewhat special and of very little interest to the user, especially in this compact view.

* default, available in every module; either it's defined by the module author or should be "created on the fly" and assumed empty
* buildroot, a special profile used to populate the minimal buildroot; used extremely sparingly and is really of no interest to the end user
* srpm-buildroot, another instance of the above; used to initialize the SRPM buildroot
* container, used when installing the module into a container image if there is no other configuration or input, sort of like default but requested to be separate by the userspace containerization folks

These special profiles should be listed when the "verbose" flag is added and in "dnf module info", but be hidden by default.

Dnf doesn't know which profile is special, hiding such profiles only by predefined names is not good idea.
