NAME
       repodiff - list differences between two or more Yum repositories
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
       --old, -o
              Add a repo. as an old repo. Note that if you prefix the url with
              "mirror:"  then the following url is treated as a mirror and not
              a baseurl.
       --new, -n
              Add a repo. as an new repo. Note that if you prefix the url with
              "mirror:"  then the following url is treated as a mirror and not
              a baseurl.
       --archlist, -a
              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").
       --size, -s
              Output additional data about the size of the changes.
       --compare-arch
              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.
       --simple
              Output a simple one line message for modified packages.
       --downgrade
              Split  the data for modified packages between upgraded and down-
              graded packages.
EXAMPLES
       Compare source pkgs in two local repos:
              repodiff --old=/tmp/repo-old --new=/tmp/repo-new
       Compare x86_64 compat. binary pkgs in two remote repos, and  two  local
       one:
              repodiff     -a     x86_64    --old=http://example.com/repo1-old
              --old=/tmp/repo-old           --new=http://example.com/repo1-new
              --new=/tmp/repo-new
       Compare x86_64 compat. binary pkgs, but also compare arch:
              repodiff    -a    x86_64    --compare-arch    --old=http://exam-
              ple.com/repo1-old     --old=/tmp/repo-old     --new=http://exam-
              ple.com/repo1-new --new=/tmp/repo-new
       Compare two releases of Fedora (15 => 16):
              repodiff    --old='mirror:https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/met-
              alink?repo=fedora-source-15&arch=i386'               --new='mir-
              ror:https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-
              source-16&arch=i386' --size --simple --downgrade
