NAME
reposync - synchronize yum repositories to a local directory SYNOPSIS reposync [options] DESCRIPTION reposync is used to synchronize a remote yum repository to a local directory, using yum to retrieve the packages. OPTIONS
-h, help Display a help message, and then quit.
-c CONFIG, config=CONFIG Config file to use (defaults to /etc/yum.conf).
-a ARCH, arch=ARCH Act as if running the specified arch (default: current arch,
note: does not override $releasever. x8664 is a superset for i*86.). source Also download .src.rpm files.
-r REPOID, repoid=REPOID Specify repo ids to query, can be specified multiple times (default is all enabled).
-e CACHEDIR, cachedir CACHEDIR Directory in which to store metadata.
-t, tempcache
Use a temp dir for storing/accessing yum-cache.
-d, delete Delete local packages no longer present in repository.
-p DESTDIR, downloadpath=DESTDIR Path to download packages to: defaults to current directory. norepopath Don't add the reponame to the download path. Can only be used when syncing a single repository (default is to add the repon‐ ame).
-g, gpgcheck Remove packages that fail GPG signature checking after download‐ ing. exit status is '1' if at least one package was removed.

download-metadata
Download all the non-default metadata.
-n, newest-only
Download only newest packages per-repo.
-q, quiet Output as little information as possible.
allow-path-traversal Allow packages stored outside their repo directory to be synced. These are packages that are referenced in metadata by using
absolute paths or up-level ".." symbols, and are normally skipped by reposync for security reasons. CAUTION: Using this option has potential security implications since, by providing malicious repodata, an attacker could make reposync write to arbitrary locations on the file system that are accessible by the user running it. EXAMPLES Sync all packages from the 'updates' repo to the current directory: reposync repoid=updates Sync only the newest packages from the 'updates' repo to the current directory:
reposync -n repoid=updates Sync packages from the 'updates' and 'extras' repos to the current directory: reposync repoid=updates repoid=extras Sync all packages from the 'updates' repo to the repos directory:
reposync -p repos repoid=updates Sync all packages from the 'updates' repo to the repos directory excluding x8664 arch. Edit /etc/yum.conf adding option exclude=*.x8664. Then:
reposync -p repos repoid=updates FILES reposync uses the yum libraries for retrieving information and pack‐ ages. If no configuration file is specified, the default yum configura‐ tion will be used. /etc/yum.conf /etc/yum/repos.d/ SEE ALSO yum.conf (5) http://yum.baseurl.org/ AUTHORS See the Authors file included with this program.
