yum grouplist does not show all groups

[Özgür]

Hi,

The command

yum grouplist

does not show all available groups in Fedora 19. I had the same problem 
before in CentOS and other versions of Fedora. As an example, I can 
install

yum groupinstall "Development Libraries"

but yum grouplist does not show such a group. Is that a bug, or am I doing 
something wrong?

Regards, Ozgur

Use:
yum group list hidden

(or 'yum grouplist hidden').

And why do hidden groups exist at all? I cannot see any point of hiding 
"Development Libraries". Is it very infrequently used? No. Is it 
dangerous? No. So what is the point?

My guess is that the group is not intended (for whatever reason) to be 
installed on its own, rather as a part of some environment like Development or 
Development and Creative Workstation.
