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).

-t, --tempcache

Use a temp dir for storing/accessing yum-cache.

-p DESTDIR, --download_path=DESTDIR

Path to download packages to: defaults to current directory.

-g, --gpgcheck

Remove packages that fail GPG signature checking after downloading.

-u, --urls

Just list urls of what would be downloaded, don't download.

-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.

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