repoquery - query information from Yum repositories
repoquery [options] <item ...>
repoquery -a [options]
repoquery is a program for querying information from YUM
repositories similarly to rpm queries.
- --querytags
- List valid queryformat tags and exit..
- -v, --version
- Report program version and exit.
- --repoid=<repo>
- Specify which repository to query. Using this option disables all
repositories not explicitly enabled with --repoid option (can be used
multiple times). By default repoquery uses whatever repositories are
enabled in YUM configuration.
- --enablerepo=<repo>
- In addition to the default set, query the given additional repository,
even if it is disabled in YUM configuration. Can be used multiple
times.
- --disablerepo=<repo>
- Do not query the given repository, even if it is enabled in YUM
configuration. Can be used multiple times.
- --repofrompath=<repoid>,<path/url>
- Specify a path or url to a repository (same path as in a baseurl) to add
to the repositories for this query. This option can be used multiple
times. If you want to view only the pkgs from this repository combine this
with --repoid. The repoid for the repository is specified by
<repoid>.
- --plugins
- Enable YUM plugin support.
- -q, --query
- For rpmquery compatibility, doesn't do anything.
- -h, --help
- Help; display a help message and then quit.
- --quiet
- Run quietly: no warnings printed to stderr.
- --verbose
- Produce verbose output.
- -C, --cache
- Tells repoquery to run entirely from YUM cache - does not download any
metadata or update the cache. Queries in this mode can fail or give
partial/incorrect results if the cache isn't fully populated beforehand
with eg "yum makecache".
- --tempcache
- Create and use a private cache instead of the main YUM cache. This is used
by default when run as non-root user.
- -c <config file>,
--config=<config file>
- Use alternative config file (default is /etc/yum.conf).
- --releasever=version
- Pretend the current release version is the given string. This is very
useful when combined with --installroot. You can also use --releasever=/
to take the releasever information from outside the installroot. Note that
with the default upstream cachedir, of /var/cache/yum, using this option
will corrupt your cache (and you can use $releasever in your cachedir
configuration to stop this).
- --setopt=option=value
- Set any config option in yum config or repo files. For options in the
global config just use: --setopt=option=value for repo options use:
--setopt=repoid.option=value
- -i, --info
- Show general information about package similarly to "rpm
-qi"
- -l, --list
- List files in package.
- -R, --requires
- List package dependencies.
- --resolve
- When used with --requires, resolve capabilities to originating
packages.
- --provides
- List capabilities package provides.
- --obsoletes
- List capabilities obsoleted by package.
- --conflicts
- List capabilities conflicting with package.
- --changelog
- List package changelog.
- --location
- Show a location where the package could be downloaded from. For example:
wget `repoquery --location yum`
- -s, --source
- Show package source RPM name.
- --srpm
- Operate on corresponding source RPM.
- --groupmember
PACKAGE
- List the repodata groups (yumgroups.xml) belongs to (if any).
- --nvr
- Use name-version-release output format (rpm query default)
- --nevra
- Use name-epoch:version-release.architecture output format (default)
- --envra
- Use epoch:name-version-release.architecture output format (easier to parse
than nevra)
- --qf=FORMAT,
--queryformat=FORMAT
- Specify custom output format for queries. You can add ":date",
":day" and ":isodate" to all the tags that are a time,
and you can add ":k", ":m", ":g",
":t" and ":h" to sizes. You can also specify field
width as in sprintf (Eg. %-20{name})
- --output
[text|ascii-tree|dot-tree]
- Output format which can be used with
--requires/--whatrequires/--obsoletes/--conflicts. Default output is
'text'.
- --level [all|any
int]
- In combination with --output ascii-tree|dot-tree this option specifies the
number of level to print on the tree. Default level is 'all'.
- -a, --all
- Query all available packages (for rpmquery compatibility / shorthand for
repoquery '*')
- -f, --file FILE
- Query package owning FILE.
- --whatobsoletes
CAPABILITY
- Query all packages that obsolete CAPABILITY.
- --whatconflicts
CAPABILITY
- Query all packages that conflict with CAPABILITY.
- --whatprovides
CAPABILITY
- Query all packages that provide CAPABILITY.
- --whatrequires
CAPABILITY
- Query all packages that require CAPABILITY.
- --alldeps
- When used with --whatrequires, look for non-explicit dependencies in
addition to explicit ones (e.g. files and Provides in addition to package
names). This is the default.
- --exactdeps
- When used with --whatrequires, search for dependencies only exactly as
given. This is effectively the opposite of --alldeps.
- --recursive
- When used with --whatrequires, query packages recursively.
- --archlist=ARCH1[,ARCH2...]
- Limit the query to packages of given architecture(s). Valid values are all
architectures known to rpm/yum such as 'i386' and 'src' for source RPMS.
Note that repoquery will now change yum's "arch" to the first
value in the archlist. So "--archlist=i386,i686" will change
yum's canonical arch to i386, but allow packages of i386 and i686.
- --pkgnarrow=WHAT
- Limit what packages are considered for the query. Valid values for WHAT
are: installed, available, recent, updates, extras, all and repository
(default).
- --installed
- Restrict query ONLY to installed pkgs - disables all repos and only acts
on rpmdb.
- -i, --info
- Show general information about group.
- -l, --list
- List packages belonging to (required by) group.
- --grouppkgs=WHAT
- Specify what type of packages are queried from groups. Valid values for
WHAT are all, mandatory, default, optional.
- --requires
- List groups required by group.
- -a
- Query all available groups.
- -g, --group
- Query groups instead of packages.
- Specifying
package names
- A package can be referred to in all queries with any of the
following:
-
name
name.arch
name-ver
name-ver-rel
name-ver-rel.arch
name-epoch:ver-rel.arch
epoch:name-ver-rel.arch
- For example: repoquery -l kernel-2.4.1-10.i686
Additionally wildcards (shell-style globs) can be used.
As repoquery uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the
information, it relies on YUM configuration for its default values like
which repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:
/etc/yum.conf
/etc/yum/repos.d/
/var/cache/yum/
yum.conf (5)
