Description Neal Gompa 2016-09-27 09:07:28 UTC
Description of problem:
When building chroots/containers using "dnf --installroot=</path/to/root> install", there's no way to further minimize this by declaring that files marked as %doc should not be installed.

RPM has the capability to not install files marked as docs, but DNF doesn't expose it. Somehow, even Anaconda is able to do this (which uses DNF), so I assume there's a way to do this, but if there is, it's not documented at all.

Please add a switch or config option for doing so.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.1.10-1.fc24

rpm.RPMTRANS_FLAG_NODOCS...

docs/yum.conf.5:transaction set. These include 'noscripts', 'notriggers', 'nodocs', 'test', 'justdb' and 'nocontexts'. 'repackage' is also available but that does nothing
yum/__init__.py:                if 'nodocs' in self.conf.tsflags:
yum/__init__.py:                    po.yumdb_info.tsflag_nodocs = 'true'
yum/__init__.py:        #         so someone can add --nogpgcheck or --nodocs or --nodiskspace or some nonsense and have it work
yum/depsolve.py:                            'nodocs': rpm.RPMTRANS_FLAG_NODOCS,
yumcommands.py:            print _("  Nodocs:"), 'nodocs' in base.conf.tsflags
yumcommands.py:        elif extcmds[0] in ('docs', 'nodocs',
yumcommands.py:            c_f = 'nodocs' in base.conf.tsflags
yumcommands.py:                nts = nts + ['nodocs']
yumcommands.py:                nts = [x for x in nts if x != 'nodocs']
yumcommands.py:        c_f = 'nodocs' in base.conf.tsflags
yumcommands.py:            elif c_f != ('true' == pkg.yumdb_info.get('tsflag_nodocs')):
