NAME

repodiff

SYNOPSIS

repodiff --old=old_repo_baseurl --new=new_repo_baseurl

DESCRIPTION

repodiff is a program which will list differences between two sets of repositories. Note that by default only source packages are compared.

GENERAL OPTIONS

Add a repo. as an old repo.
Add a repo. as an new repo.
Add architectures to change the default from just comparing source packages. Note that if you want the same as a native "x86_64" architecture machine you just need to pass "x86_64" (this is different from earlier versions where you needed to specify "x86_64,athlon,i686,i586,i486,i386,noarch" and you still got "src").
Ouput additional data about the size of the changes.
Normally packages are just compared based on their name, this flag makes the comparison also use the arch. So foo.i386 and foo.x86_64 are different.

EXAMPLES

repodiff --old=/tmp/repo-old --new=/tmp/repo-new
repodiff -a x86_64 --old=http://example.com/repo1-old --old=/tmp/repo-old --new=http://example.com/repo1-new --new=/tmp/repo-new
repodiff -a x86_64 --compare-arch --old=http://example.com/repo1-old --old=/tmp/repo-old --new=http://example.com/repo1-new --new=/tmp/repo-new
