List default packages and propose amendmends

[Anatoli Babenia]

Hello.

Where can I see the list of packages installed by default in Fedora?

I am writing a script for automation, which uses REST API + JSON, and I wonder if jq is installed by default to use in bash scripts? It not, then why and what is the process to get it there. The rationale is that nowadays most services on the net operate through API and shipping OS with those instruments included will enable less friction when developing these.

The key word is "comps". There is a separate database which stores
this information and is used by (some) installer software:

It seems like it is not. Why not install jq if you need it? I'm not
very clear on the problem, or what you're trying to do. Is this
question related to Ansible?

a lot of optional packages. How to find the section that goes by default
but can be unselected and section that can not be unselected and will
be installed always? It is possible to place those at the file start?

Almost. I am writing script that sets up external services like Travis and
GitHub for unprivileged user session. It is great to have `curl` installed
by default to make RESTful API calls, but there is nothing to parse the
replies. I can find and patch server initialization script what installs git,
and creates users to also install jq, but in 2018 where REST based APIs
are so ubiquitous it seems logical for network connected OS to give
users tools to work with network service APIs out of the box. Maybe it
should not be curl+jq, but something like httpie.
