Avoid Comps bloat

[marcosfrm]

Some time ago I asked on IRC if it was possible, in Anaconda, configure DNF to use install_weak_deps=False and group_package_types=mandatory (without default), to avoid Comps bloat. It was not if I remember correctly. Any change? Can I override the repository's comps.xml somehow?

@poncovka you would probably know the answer already, I think? If not, ping me back so I know I'm the one checking.

You should be able to do that with a kickstart file for specific groups (https://pykickstart.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kickstart-docs.html#chapter-9-package-selection):

%packages --exclude-weakdeps
@some-group --nodefaults
@another-group --nodefaults
%end
