NAME
show-changed-rco - show changes in an RPM package
SYNOPSIS
show-changed-rco [options]
DESCRIPTION
show-changed-rco gives a compact description of the changes to a packages Requires, Conflicts and Obsoletes data from the installed (or
old) to a specified rpm file.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
show this help message and exit
-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".
-c <config file>, --config=<config file>
Use alternative config file (default is /etc/yum.conf).
--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>.
--old-packages=<pkg>
Explicitly list the valid old packages to match the new packages against.
--ignore-arch
Ignore arch. so you can compare foo-2.i686 to foo-1.x86_64.
--skip-new
Only give output for packages which we've found an old package for.
