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  repon-
              ame).
       -g, --gpgcheck
              Remove packages that fail GPG signature checking after download-
              ing.  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.

              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

       tion will be used.
