repoquery(1) repoquery(1) NAME repoquery 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. --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>. -q 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. -C Tells repoquery to run entirely from YUM cache - does not down- load 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> Use alternative config file (default is /etc/yum.conf). 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. --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 (eas- ier 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}) PACKAGE SELECTION OPTIONS -a Query all available packages (for rpmquery compatibility / shorthand for repoquery '*') -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, use both automatic and manual dependencies for the query. --archlist=ARCH1[,ARCH2...] Limit the query to packages of given architecture(s). Valid val- ues are all architectures known to rpm/yum such as 'i386' and 'src' for source RPMS. --pkgnarrow=WHAT Limit what packages are considered for the query. Valid values for WHAT are: installed, available, recent, updates, extras, all and repository (default). --show-dupes Query all versions of package. By default only newest packages are considered. 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 Query groups instead of packages. EXAMPLES List all packages whose name contains 'perl': repoquery '*perl*' List all packages depending on openssl: repoquery --whatrequires --alldeps openssl List all package names and the repository they come from, nicely for- matted: repoquery -a --qf "%-20{repoid} %{name}" List name and summary of all available updates (if any), nicely format- ted: repoquery -a --pkgnarrow=updates --qf "%{name}:\n%{summary}\n" 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 MISC Specifying package names A package can be referred to in all queries with any of the fol- lowing: 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 reposito- ries to use.
