Hi,

NAME
repoquery - query information from Yum repositories
SYNOPSIS
repoquery [options] <item ...>
repoquery -a [options]
DESCRIPTION
repoquery is a program for querying information from YUM repositories similarly to rpm queries.
GENERAL OPTIONS
--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).
--installroot=root
Specifies an alternative installroot, relative to which all packages will be installed. Think of this like doing "chroot <root> yum"
except using --installroot allows yum to work before the chroot is created. Note: You may also want to use the option --relea-
sever=/ when creating the installroot as otherwise the $releasever value is taken from the rpmdb within the installroot (and thus.
will be empty, before creation).
--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
PACKAGE QUERY OPTIONS
-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'.
PACKAGE SELECTION OPTIONS
-a, --all
Query all available packages (for rpmquery compatibility / shorthand for repoquery '*')
--show-duplicates
Query all versions of packages.
-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, and --requires --resolve, 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.
GROUP QUERY OPTIONS
-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.
GROUP SELECTION OPTIONS
-a Query all available groups.
-g, --group
Query groups instead of packages.
EXAMPLES
List all packages whose name contains 'perl':
repoquery '*perl*'
List all packages depending on openssl:
repoquery --whatrequires openssl
List all package names and the repository they come from, nicely formatted:
repoquery -a --qf "%-20{repoid} %{name}"
List name and summary of all available updates (if any), nicely formatted:
repoquery -a --pkgnarrow=updates --qf "%{name}:
%{summary}
"
List optional packages in base group:
repoquery -g --grouppkgs=optional -l base
List build requirements from 'anaconda' source rpm:
repoquery --requires anaconda.src
List packages which BuildRequire gail-devel
repoquery --archlist=src --whatrequires gail-devel
NB: This command will only work if you have repositories enabled which include srpms.
MISC
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.
FILES
As repoquery uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration for its default values like which repos-
itories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:
/etc/yum.conf
/etc/yum/repos.d/
/var/cache/yum/
