NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       repodiff --old=old_repo_baseurl --new=new_repo_baseurl
10

DESCRIPTION

12       repodiff  is  a program which will list differences between two sets of
13       repositories.  Note that by default only source packages are compared.
14

GENERAL OPTIONS

16       --old, -o
17              Add a repo. as an old repo. Note that if you prefix the url with
18              "mirror:"  then the following url is treated as a mirror and not
19              a baseurl.
20
21       --new, -n
22              Add a repo. as an new repo. Note that if you prefix the url with
23              "mirror:"  then the following url is treated as a mirror and not
24              a baseurl.
25
26       --archlist, -a
27              Add architectures to change  the  default  from  just  comparing
28              source  packages.   Note  that  if you want the same as a native
29              "x86_64" architecture machine you just  need  to  pass  "x86_64"
30              (this  is  different  from  earlier versions where you needed to
31              specify "x86_64,athlon,i686,i586,i486,i386,noarch" and you still
32              got "src").
33
34       --size, -s
35              Output additional data about the size of the changes.
36
37       --compare-arch
38              Normally  packages  are  just compared based on their name, this
39              flag makes the comparison also use the  arch.  So  foo.i386  and
40              foo.x86_64 are different.
41
42       --simple
43              Output a simple one line message for modified packages.
44
45       --downgrade
46              Split  the data for modified packages between upgraded and down‐
47              graded packages.

EXAMPLES

50       Compare source pkgs in two local repos:
51              repodiff --old=/tmp/repo-old --new=/tmp/repo-new
52
53       Compare x86_64 compat. binary pkgs in two remote repos, and  two  local
54       one:
55              repodiff     -a     x86_64    --old=http://example.com/repo1-old
56              --old=/tmp/repo-old           --new=http://example.com/repo1-new
57              --new=/tmp/repo-new
58
59       Compare x86_64 compat. binary pkgs, but also compare arch:
60              repodiff    -a    x86_64    --compare-arch    --old=http://exam‐
61              ple.com/repo1-old     --old=/tmp/repo-old     --new=http://exam‐
62              ple.com/repo1-new --new=/tmp/repo-new
63
64       Compare two releases of Fedora (15 => 16):
65              repodiff    --old='mirror:https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/met‐
66              alink?repo=fedora-source-15&arch=i386'               --new='mir‐
67              ror:https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-
68              source-16&arch=i386' --size --simple --downgrade
