In Fedora, I used to be able to do this:
$ sudo dnf -q group info "MATE Desktop" > mate-environment
cat mate-environment
Environment Group: MATE Desktop
Description: MATE Desktop is based on GNOME 2 and provides a powerful graphical user interface for users who seek a simple easy to use traditional desktop interface.
Mandatory Groups:
Administration Tools
Common NetworkManager Submodules
Core
Dial-up Networking Support
Fonts
Guest Desktop Agents
Hardware Support
Input Methods
MATE
Multimedia
Printing Support
Standard
base-x
Optional Groups:
3D Printing
LibreOffice
MATE Applications
MATE Compiz
The contents of each of those groups was a package list that could be downloaded with the “dnf -q group info GroupName” command. The -q flag means quiet, only output the list. The groups were stored in files and edited with vim to produce a set of tailored files that installed the mate desktop and packages I preferred with dnf. Is there a way to pull the package lists for a pattern down to a file with zypper in openSUSE?
Thanks,
zypper pt
displays the available packages.
zypper info -t pattern lxqt
lists the contents of the lxqt pattern.

Thanks! I had found the second command, what I was missing was the first one. I had only come across “zypper se patterns” which isn’t useful.
