NAME
       repodiff - list differences between two or more Yum repositories

SYNOPSIS
       repodiff old=oldrepobaseurl new=newrepobaseurl

DESCRIPTION
       repodiff  is  a program which will list differences between two sets of
       repositories.  Note that by default only source packages are compared.

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
              "x8664" architecture machine you just  need  to  pass  "x8664"
              (this  is  different  from  earlier versions where you needed to
              specify "x8664,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.x8664 are different.

       simple
              Output a simple one line message for modified packages.

       downgrade
              Split  the data for modified packages between upgraded and down‐
              graded packages.

EXAMPLES
       Compare source pkgs in two local repos:
              repodiff old=/tmp/repo-old new=/tmp/repo-new

       Compare x8664 compat. binary pkgs in two remote repos, and  two  local
       one:
              repodiff     -a     x8664    old=http://example.com/repo1-old
              old=/tmp/repo-old           new=http://example.com/repo1-new
              new=/tmp/repo-new

       Compare x8664 compat. binary pkgs, but also compare arch:
              repodiff    -a    x8664    compare-arch    old=http://exam‐
              ple.com/repo1-old     old=/tmp/repo-old     new=http://exam‐
              ple.com/repo1-new new=/tmp/repo-new

       Compare two releases of Fedora (15 => 16):
              repodiff    old='mirror:https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/met‐
              alink?repo=fedora-source-15&arch=i386'               new='mir‐
              ror:https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-
              source-16&arch=i386' size simple downgrade
