PKG repositories

It should be noted that by default pkg points to pkg.oracle.com. If you are familiar with Linux apt-get or yum that point to vendor repositories, this is much the same thing.

if you don't alter it, when you run pkg update it will connect to the internet, communicate with pkg.oracle.com and download updates.

if you DO alter it, you'll have to change the pkg publisher (repository location) to a local file system. Then manually go to oracle and get the pkg repo updates install them into your repo yourself. it doesn't save time to do it manually, in fact it's a lot more of a hassle to do it because you have to manage the repository AND the server.

If you don't have a security reason (you don't want the server to talk to the internet because it contains sensitive date) or a networking reason.
It's far better and easier, especially for a novice sysadmin, to leave pkg alone and just update from the internet. The same could be said of apt-get and yum they have the same options.

show-changed-rco

show-installed(1)														 show-installed(1)

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.
