Is it possible to skip a package weak dependencies during a kickstart installation of Fedora?

Question

I know how to skip the installation of weak dependencies with dnf when installing a package (either by modifying dnf.conf or directly in the command line). I was wondering: is it possible to skip a package weak dependencies during a kickstart installation?

Answer 1

1. Command line parameter

dnf --setopt=install_weak_deps=False newPackageName

2. Permanent setting in the dnf config file

sudo vi /etc/dnf/dnf.conf

add a line

install_weak_deps=False

Answer 2

Just notice this question has not a definitive answer; I'll provide myself one after a bunch of years. To skip the installation of weak dependencies for packages included in the %packages section of a kickstart file, it's enough to use the --excludeWeakdeps option:

%packages --excludeWeakdeps
# your packages
%end

In modern versions of Anaconda, instead, you need to use:

%packages --exclude-weakdeps
# your packages
%end
