[CentOS] What is in a yum group

[Robert Moskowitz]

Can some one that has a Centos7-x64 system please send me the output of:

yum group info Xfce

My Centos7-armv7 does not have an Xfce group, only Gnome and KDE. And 
all else I have here are Fedora 25-x64 laptops.  I want to see what 
Centos7 considers to be in the Xcfe desktop.

thanks
