NAME¶
reposync - synchronize yum repositories to a local directory
SYNOPSIS¶
reposync [options]
DESCRIPTION¶
reposync is used to synchronize a remote yum repository to a local directory, using yum to retrieve the packages.
OPTIONS¶
- -h, --help
- Display a help message, and then quit.
- -c CONFIG, --config=CONFIG
- Config file to use (defaults to /etc/yum.conf).
- -a ARCH, --arch=ARCH
- Act as if running the specified arch (default: current arch, note: does not override $releasever).
- --source
- Also download .src.rpm files.
- -r REPOID, --repoid=REPOID
- Specify repo ids to query, can be specified multiple times (default is all enabled).
- -e CACHEDIR, --cachedir CACHEDIR
- Directory in which to store metadata.
- -t, --tempcache
- Use a temp dir for storing/accessing yum-cache.
- -d, --delete
- Delete local packages no longer present in repository.
- -p DESTDIR, --download_path=DESTDIR
- Path to download packages to: defaults to current directory.
- --norepopath
- Don't add the reponame to the download path. Can only be used when syncing a single repository (default is to add the reponame).
- -g, --gpgcheck
- Remove packages that fail GPG signature checking after downloading.
- -u, --urls
- Just list urls of what would be downloaded, don't download.
- -l, --plugins
- Enable yum plugin support.
- -m, --downloadcomps
- Also download comps.xml.
- -n, --newest-only
- Download only newest packages per-repo.
- -q, --quiet
- Output as little information as possible.
- --allow-path-traversal
- Allow packages stored outside their repo directory to be synced. These are
packages that are referenced in metadata by using absolute paths or
up-level ".." symbols, and are normally skipped by
reposync for security reasons.
CAUTION: Using this option has potential security implications since, by providing malicious repodata, an attacker could make reposync write to arbitrary locations on the file system that are accessible by the user running it.
EXAMPLES¶
- Sync all packages from the 'updates' repo to the current directory:
- reposync --repoid=updates
- Sync only the newest packages from the 'updates' repo to the current directory:
- reposync -n --repoid=updates
- Sync packages from the 'updates' and 'extras' repos to the current directory:
- reposync --repoid=updates --repoid=extras
- Sync all packages from the 'updates' repo to the repos directory:
- reposync -p repos --repoid=updates
FILES¶
reposync uses the yum libraries for retrieving information and packages. If no configuration file is specified, the default yum configuration will be used.
