6 createrepo_c - Create rpm-md format (xml-rpm-metadata) repository
7
9 createrepo_c [options] <directory>
10
12 -V --version
13 Show program's version number and exit.
14 -q --quiet
16 Run quietly.
17 -v --verbose
19 Run verbosely.
20 -x --excludes PACKAGE_NAME_GLOB
22 File globs to exclude, can be specified multiple times.
23 --basedir BASEDIR
25 Basedir for path to directories.
26 -u --baseurl URL
28 Optional base URL location for all files.
29 -g --groupfile GROUPFILE
31 Path to groupfile to include in metadata.
32 -s --checksum CHECKSUM_TYPE
34 Choose the checksum type used in repomd.xml and for packages in the
35 metadata. The default is now sha256.
36 -p --pretty
38 Make sure all xml generated is formatted (default)
39 -d --database
41 Generate sqlite databases for use with yum.
42 --no-database
44 Do not generate sqlite databases in the repository.
45 --update
47 If metadata already exists in the outputdir and an rpm is unchanged
48 (based on file size and mtime) since the metadata was generated, reuse
49 the existing metadata rather than recalculating it. In the case of a
50 large repository with only a few new or modified rpms this can signifi‐
51 cantly reduce I/O and processing time.
52 --update-md-path
54 Use the existing repodata for --update from this path.
55 --skip-stat
57 Skip the stat() call on a --update, assumes if the filename is the same
58 then the file is still the same (only use this if you're fairly trust‐
59 ing or gullible).
60 --split
62 Run in split media mode. Rather than pass a single directory, take a
63 set of directories corresponding to different volumes in a media set.
64 Meta data is created in the first given directory
65 -i --pkglist FILENAME
67 Specify a text file which contains the complete list of files to
68 include in the repository from the set found in the directory. File
69 format is one package per line, no wildcards or globs.
70 -n --includepkg PACKAGE
72 Specify pkgs to include on the command line. Takes urls as well as
73 local paths.
74 -o --outputdir URL
76 Optional output directory.
77 -S --skip-symlinks
79 Ignore symlinks of packages.
80 --changelog-limit NUM
82 Only import the last N changelog entries, from each rpm, into the meta‐
83 data.
84 --unique-md-filenames
86 Include the file's checksum in the metadata filename, helps HTTP
87 caching (default).
88 --simple-md-filenames
90 Do not include the file's checksum in the metadata filename.
91 --retain-old-md NUM
93 Keep around the latest (by timestamp) N copies of the old repodata.
94 --distro DISTRO
96 Distro tag and optional cpeid: --distro'cpeid,textname'.
97 --content CONTENT_TAGS
99 Tags for the content in the repository.
100 --repo REPO_TAGS
102 Tags to describe the repository itself.
103 --revision REVISION
105 User-specified revision for this repository.
106 --set-timestamp-to-revision
108 Set timestamp field in metatada to value given with --revision. This
109 require --revision being a timestamp formated in "date +%s" format.
110 This option also clamp created files modification time to the same
111 value.
112 --read-pkgs-list READ_PKGS_LIST
114 Output the paths to the pkgs actually read useful with --update.
115 --workers
117 Number of workers to spawn to read rpms.
118 --xz
120 Use xz for repodata compression.
121 --zck
123 Generate zchunk files as well as the standard repodata.
124 --zck-dict-dir ZCK_DICT_DIR
126 Directory containing compression dictionaries for use by zchunk.
127 --compress-type COMPRESSION_TYPE
129 Which compression type to use.
130 --general-compress-type COMPRESSION_TYPE
132 Which compression type to use (even for primary, filelists and other
133 xml).
134 --keep-all-metadata
136 Keep all additional metadata (not primary, filelists and other xml or
137 sqlite files, nor their compressed variants) from source repository
138 during update.
139 --compatibility
141 Enforce maximal compatibility with classical createrepo.
142 --retain-old-md-by-age AGE
144 During --update, remove all files in repodata/ which are older then the
145 specified period of time. (e.g. '2h', '30d', ...). Available units (m -
146 minutes, h - hours, d - days)
147 -c --cachedir CACHEDIR.
149 Set path to cache dir
150 --deltas
152 Tells createrepo to generate deltarpms and the delta metadata.
153 --oldpackagedirs PATH
155 Paths to look for older pkgs to delta against. Can be specified multi‐
156 ple times.
157 --num-deltas INT
159 The number of older versions to make deltas against. Defaults to 1.
160 --max-delta-rpm-size MAX_DELTA_RPM_SIZE
162 Max size of an rpm that to run deltarpm against (in bytes).
163 --local-sqlite
165 Gen sqlite DBs locally (into a directory for temporary files). Some‐
166 times, sqlite has a trouble to gen DBs on a NFS mount, use this option
167 in such cases. This option could lead to a higher memory consumption if
168 TMPDIR is set to /tmp or not set at all, because then the /tmp is used
169 and /tmp dir is often a ramdisk.
170 --cut-dirs NUM
172 Ignore NUM of directory components in location_href during repodata
173 generation
174 --location-prefix PREFIX
176 Append this prefix before location_href in output repodata
177 --repomd-checksum CHECKSUM_TYPE
179 Checksum type to be used in repomd.xml
180 --error-exit-val
182 Exit with retval 2 if there were any errors during processing
183 --ignore-lock
185 Expert (risky) option: Ignore an existing .repodata/. (Remove the
186 existing .repodata/ and create an empty new one to serve as a lock for
187 other createrepo intances. For the repodata generation, a different
188 temporary dir with the name in format .repodata.time.microseconds.pid/
189 will be used). NOTE: Use this option on your own risk! If two createre‐
190 pos run simultaneously, then the state of the generated metadata is not
191 guaranted - it can be inconsistent and wrong.
