reposync - synchronize yum repositories to a local directory
reposync [options]
reposync is used to synchronize a remote yum repository to a local
directory, using yum to retrieve the packages.
-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.
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
reposync uses the yum libraries for retrieving information and
packages. If no configuration file is specified, the default yum
configuration will be used.
