Best answer

@something is a group (yum grouplist),
for content of the group
yum groupinfo @group
or
yum groupinfo "my group"

I'm not sure if the first one will work, I thinkk you can get group names and short names (@somegroup) with
yum grouplist hidden -v

How do you pass vars to rpmbuild ?

How do you pass vars to rpmbuild for definition?

eg: rpmbuild --define '"${_definition2}"'

I've been fiddling with ways to escape, but none is fricking working.. I mean, rpmbuild rushes to work(no errors nor failure) so if you try just command line do not believe it, because later as it executes %if you will see process does not see these definitions.

How to install mysql server using RPM?

I am trying installing Mysql server using RPM bundle

rpm -i MySQL-server-5.6.16-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
rpm -i MySQL-client-5.6.16-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

The server RPM places data under the /var/lib/mysql directory. The RPM also creates a login account for a user named mysql (if one does not exist) to use for running the MySQL server, and creates the appropriate entries in /etc/init.d/ to start the server automatically at boot time. (This means that if you have performed a previous installation and have made changes to its startup script, you may want to make a copy of the script so that you do not lose it when you install a newer RPM.

When I checked /var/lib I found none for mysql, any thoughts?

Is there a rpm command to find the package that created a particular user or particular group?

Given a particular user or particular group, is there a rpm command that returns what package created that particular user or particular group?

Analogous to rpm -q --whatprovides /etc/security/limits.conf returns the package "pam". Is there an rpm command that returns what package generated a particular user?

Most of us already know that the httpd package is associated with the user apache. But there are passwd and group entries that i would like to verify and want to know exactly how they got on my system. Further i would like to know which the security implications of adding another group to a user account.

Something like the following command:

`rpm --query --user apache` would return "httpd"
`rpm --query --group pulse-access` might return pulseaudio
