NAME
dnf-repomanage - DNF repomanage Plugin
Manage a repository or a simple directory of rpm packages.
SYNOPSIS
dnf repomanage [<optional-options>] [<options>] <path>
DESCRIPTION
repomanage prints newest or older packages in a repository specified by
<path> for easy piping to xargs or similar programs. In case <path>
doesn't contain a valid repodata, it is searched for rpm packages which
are then used instead. If the repodata are present, repomanage uses
them as the source of truth, it doesn't verify that they match the
present rpm packages. In fact, repomanage can run with just the repo-
data, no rpm packages are needed.
In order to work correctly with modular packages, <path> has to contain
repodata with modular metadata. If modular content is present, repoman-
age prints packages from newest or older stream versions in addition to
newest or older non-modular packages.
Options
All general DNF options are accepted, see Options in dnf(8) for
details.
The following options set what packages are displayed. These options
are mutually exclusive, i.e. only one can be specified. If no option is
specified, the newest packages are shown.
--old Show older packages (for a package or a stream show all versions
except the newest one).
--oldonly
Show older packages (same as --old, but exclude the newest pack-
ages even when it's included in the older stream versions).
--new Show newest packages.
The following options control how packages are displayed in the output:
-s, --space
Print resulting set separated by space instead of newline.
-k <keep-number>, --keep <keep-number>
Limit the resulting set to newest <keep-number> packages.
EXAMPLES
Display newest packages in current repository (directory):
dnf repomanage --new .
Display 2 newest versions of each package in "home" directory:
dnf repomanage --new --keep 2 ~/
Display oldest packages separated by space in current repository
(directory):
dnf repomanage --old --space .
