RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Radek Bíba 2020-03-13 21:01:52 UTC
This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1786072

I am copying this bug because: 

The section about "includepkgs" in the yum2dnf man page reads:

YUM'S CONF DIRECTIVE INCLUDEPKGS IS JUST INCLUDE
       include directive name of [main] and Repo configuration is a more logical and better named counterpart of exclude in DNF.

Howver, this doesn't seem to be true. The "include" option doesn't work at all. As of RHEL 8.2, the very next section in this man page specifically reads:

THE INCLUDE OPTION HAS BEEN REMOVED
       Inclusion of other configuration files in the main configuration file is no longer supported.

It looks like "includepkgs" is still a valid option in dnf.

PR: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/1606

note: includepkgs is well documented already in dnf
