.SH NAME
dnf5-filtering \- Packages Filtering
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
Package filtering removes packages from the available package set, making them invisible to most \fBDNF5\fP commands. As a result, these packages cannot be included in any transaction.
.sp
There are several ways a package can be filtered out:
.SH GLOBAL EXCLUDES FILTERING
.sp
Exclude filtering can be adjusted using the \fBincludepkgs\fP or \fBexcludepkgs\fP configuration options in the DNF5 configuration file. To disable excludes, you can use the \fBdisable_excludes\fP configuration option:
.sp
\fBdnf5 \-\-setopt=disable_excludes=* install bash\fP
.sp
For details about the configuration options see \fBdnf5.conf(5)\fP, \fI\%DNF5 configuration reference\fP\&.
.SH REPOSITORY EXCLUDES FILTERING
.sp
Similar to global excludes, but this configuration is repository\-specific and only affects packages within the repository where the excludes are set.
.SH USER EXCLUDES FILTERING
.sp
API users have an additional option how to fine\-tune excluded packages using \fB*_user_excludes()\fP and \fB*_user_includes\fP methods of the \fBPackageSack\fP object. See PackageSack API\&.
.SH VERSIONLOCK
.sp
Additionally, the versionlock functionality is implemented using excludes filtering. However, these excludes are applied only during transactional operations.
For details see \fBdnf5\-versionlock(8)\fP, \fI\%Versionlock command\fP\&.
.SH MODULAR FILTERING
.sp
For details on how modular filtering works please see \fBdnf5\-modularity(7)\fP, \fI\%the modularity documentation\fP\&.
.sp
With modularity, only RPM packages from \fBactive\fP module streams are included in the available package set. RPM packages from \fBinactive\fP module streams, as well as non\-modular packages with the same name or provides as a package from an \fBactive\fP module stream, are filtered out. Modular filtering is not applied to packages added from the command line, installed packages, or packages from repositories with \fBmodule_hotfixes=true\fP in their \fB\&.repo\fP file.
.sp
Disabling of modular filtering is not recommended, because it could cause the system to get into a broken state. To disable modular filtering for a particular repository, specify
\fBmodule_hotfixes=true\fP in the \fB\&.repo\fP file or use \fB\-\-setopt=<repo_id>.module_hotfixes=true\fP\&.
