rpmdb2solv - convert the rpm database into a solv file
rpmdb2solv [OPTIONS] [REFFILE.solv]
The rpmdb2solv tool reads rpm’s installed packages database
and writes it in solv file format to standard output. You can make use of an
old version of the database by specifying a REFFILE.solv file.
-o OUTFILE
Write the generated solv to OUTFILE instead of
standard output.
-P
Print percentages as packages are being read in. The
output format is like rpm’s --percent option.
-r ROOTDIR
Use ROOTDIR as root directory.
-D DBPATH
Use the database in the DBPATH directory.
-k
Read pubkeys from the rpm database instead of installed
packages. Note that many distributions stopped storing pubkeys in the database
but use a directory like /var/lib/rpm/pubkeys instead.
-A
Also scan the /usr/share/appdata for installed
appdata files and create pseudo packages for each file.
-p PRODDIR
Also read SUSE product files from directory
PRODDIR. The standard directory is /etc/products.d.
-n
Do not read any packages from the rpm database. This is
useful together with -p to only convert SUSE products.
-C
Include the package changelog in the generated solv
file.
-X
Autoexpand SUSE pattern and product provides into
packages.
