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. 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). -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. 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. -n, --newest-only Download only newest packages per-repo. -q, --quiet Output as little information as possible. 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 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 FILES
reposync uses the yum libraries for retrieving information and packages. If no configuration file is specified, the default yum configura- tion will be used. /etc/yum.conf /etc/yum/repos.d/ SEE ALSO
