34              Directory in which to store metadata.
35
36       -t, --tempcache

46              Don't add the reponame to the download path.  Can only  be  used
47              when  syncing  a single repository (default is to add the repon‐
48              ame).
49
50       -g, --gpgcheck

52              ing.

68
69       --allow-path-traversal
70              Allow packages stored outside their repo directory to be synced.
71              These are packages that are  referenced  in  metadata  by  using
72              absolute  paths  or  up-level  ".."  symbols,  and  are normally
73              skipped by reposync for security reasons.
74
75              CAUTION: Using this option has potential  security  implications
76              since,  by  providing malicious repodata, an attacker could make
77              reposync write to arbitrary locations on the  file  system  that
78              are accessible by the user running it.
79

EXAMPLES

81       Sync all packages from the 'updates' repo to the current directory:
82               reposync --repoid=updates
83
84       Sync  only  the  newest packages from the 'updates' repo to the current
85       directory:
86               reposync -n --repoid=updates
87
88       Sync packages from the 'updates' and  'extras'  repos  to  the  current
89       directory:
90               reposync --repoid=updates --repoid=extras
91
92       Sync all packages from the 'updates' repo to the repos directory:
93               reposync -p repos --repoid=updates
94
