REPOSYNC(1) dnf-plugins-core REPOSYNC(1)

NAME

reposync - redirecting to DNF reposync Plugin

Synchronize packages of a remote DNF repository to a local directory.

SYNOPSIS

dnf reposync [options]

DESCRIPTION

reposync makes local copies of remote repositories. Packages that are already present in the local directory are not downloaded again.

OPTIONS

All general DNF options are accepted. Namely, the --repoid option can be used to specify the repositories to synchronize. See Options in dnf(8) for details.

Download only packages of given architectures (default is all architectures). Can be used multiple times.
Delete local packages no longer present in repository.
Download all repository metadata. Downloaded copy is instantly usable as a repository, no need to run createrepo_c on it. When the option is used with --newest-only, only latest packages will be downloaded, but metadata will still contain older packages. It might be useful to update metadata using createrepo_c --update to remove the packages with missing RPM files from metadata. Otherwise, DNF ends with an error due to the missing files whenever it tries to download older packages.
Remove packages that fail GPG signature checking after downloading. Exit code is 1 if at least one package was removed. Note that for repositories with gpgcheck=0 set in their configuration the GPG signature is not checked even with this option used.
Also download and uncompress comps.xml. Consider using --download-metadata option which will download all available repository metadata.
Root path under which the downloaded metadata are stored. It defaults to --download-path value if not given.
Download only newest packages per-repo.
Don't add the reponame to the download path. Can only be used when syncing a single repository (default is to add the reponame).
Root path under which the downloaded repositories are stored, relative to the current working directory. Defaults to the current working directory. Every downloaded repository has a subdirectory named after its ID under this path.
Try to set the timestamps of the downloaded files to those on the remote side.
Download only source packages.
Just print urls of what would be downloaded, don't download.

EXAMPLES

Synchronize all packages from the repository with id "the_repo". The synchronized copy is saved in "the_repo" subdirectory of the current working directory.
Synchronize all packages from the repository with id "the_repo". In this case files are saved in "/my/repos/path/the_repo" directory.
Synchronize all packages and metadata from "the_repo" repository.

Repository synchronized with --download-metadata option can be directly used in DNF for example by using --repofrompath option:

dnf --repofrompath=syncedrepo,the_repo --repoid=syncedrepo list --available
