New Fedora 9 makes waves by emphasizing contributors

Tue, 13 May 2008 18:00:00 GMT
The Fedora distribution has a reputation for innovation, and the new Fedora 9, released today, is no exception. With features that range from easy filesystem encryption to support for the ext4 format, it includes a wide range of features that are likely to become standard in other distributions in the next six months. But for Paul W. Frields, who became Fedora project leader in February, what distinguishes the release is less the technology than the community that supports it, and how the technology contributes to the larger free software world.

NAME
repodiff - list differences between two or more Yum repositories SYNOPSIS
repodiff --old=old_repo_baseurl --new=new_repo_baseurl DESCRIPTION
repodiff is a program which will list differences between two sets of repositories. Note that by default only source packages are com- pared. GENERAL OPTIONS
--old, -o Add a repo. as an old repo. Note that if you prefix the url with "mirror:" then the following url is treated as a mirror and not a baseurl. --new, -n Add a repo. as an new repo. Note that if you prefix the url with "mirror:" then the following url is treated as a mirror and not a baseurl. --archlist, -a Add architectures to change the default from just comparing source packages. Note that if you want the same as a native "x86_64" architecture machine you just need to pass "x86_64" (this is different from earlier versions where you needed to specify "x86_64,athlon,i686,i586,i486,i386,noarch" and you still got "src"). --size, -s Output additional data about the size of the changes. --compare-arch Normally packages are just compared based on their name, this flag makes the comparison also use the arch. So foo.i386 and foo.x86_64 are different. --simple Output a simple one line message for modified packages. --downgrade Split the data for modified packages between upgraded and downgraded packages. EXAMPLES
Compare source pkgs in two local repos: repodiff --old=/tmp/repo-old --new=/tmp/repo-new Compare x86_64 compat. binary pkgs in two remote repos, and two local one: repodiff -a x86_64 --old=http://example.com/repo1-old --old=/tmp/repo-old --new=http://example.com/repo1-new --new=/tmp/repo-new Compare x86_64 compat. binary pkgs, but also compare arch: repodiff -a x86_64 --compare-arch --old=http://example.com/repo1-old --old=/tmp/repo-old --new=http://example.com/repo1-new --new=/tmp/repo-new Compare two releases of Fedora (15 => 16): repodiff --old='mirror:https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-source-15&arch=i386' --new='mirror:https://mir- rors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-source-16&arch=i386' --size --simple --downgrade SEE ALSO
