DNF-REPOSYNC(8)

NAME
dnf-reposync - DNF reposync Plugin

Synchronize packages of a remote DNF repository to a local directory.

SYNOPSIS

dnf reposync [options]

DESCRIPTION

reposync makes local copies of remote repositories. Packages that are already present in the local directory are not downloaded again.

OPTIONS

All general DNF options are accepted. Namely, the --repoid option can be used to specify the repositories to synchronize. See Options in dnf(8) for details.

-a <architecture>, --arch=<architecture>
    Download only packages of given architectures (default is all architectures). Can be used multiple times.

--delete
    Delete local packages no longer present in repository.

--download-metadata
    Download all repository metadata. Downloaded copy is instantly usable as a repository, no need to run createrepo_c on it.

-g, --gpgcheck
    Remove packages that fail GPG signature checking after downloading. Exit code is 1 if at least one package was removed. Note that for repositories with gpgcheck=0 set in their configuration the GPG signature is not checked even with this option used.

-m, --downloadcomps
    Also download and uncompress comps.xml. Consider using --download-metadata option which will download all available repository metadata.

--metadata-path
    Root path under which the downloaded metadata are stored. It defaults to --download-path value if not given.

-n, --newest-only
    Download only newest packages per-repo.

--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).

-p <download-path>, --download-path=<download-path>
    Root path under which the downloaded repositories are stored, relative to the current working directory. Defaults to the current working directory. Every downloaded repository has a subdirectory named after its ID under this path.

--remote-time
    Try to set the timestamps of the downloaded files to those on the remote side.

--source
    Download only source packages.

-u, --urls
    Just print urls of what would be downloaded, don't download.

EXAMPLES

dnf reposync --repoid=the_repo
    Synchronize all packages from the repository with id "the_repo". The synchronized copy is saved in "the_repo" subdirectory of the current working directory.

dnf reposync -p /my/repos/path --repoid=the_repo
    Synchronize all packages from the repository with id "the_repo". In this case files are saved in "/my/repos/path/the_repo" directory.

dnf reposync --repoid=the_repo --download-metadata
    Synchronize all packages and metadata from "the_repo" repository.

    Repository synchronized with --download-metadata option can be directly used in DNF for example by using --repofrompath option:

    dnf --repofrompath=syncedrepo,the_repo --repoid=syncedrepo list --available
