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. x86_64 is a superset for i*86.).

--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. exit status is '1' if at least one package was removed.

-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.

--download-metadata

Download all the non-default metadata.

-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

Sync all packages from the 'updates' repo to the repos directory excluding x86_64 arch. Edit /etc/yum.conf adding option exclude=*.x86_64. Then:

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.

/etc/yum.conf
/etc/yum/repos.d/
