NAME

repodiff – list differences between two or more Yum repositories

SYNOPSIS

repodiff –old=old_repo_baseurl –new=new_repo_baseurl

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 "x86_64" architecture machine you just need to pass "x86_64" (this is different from earlier versions where you needed to specify "x86_64,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.x86_64 are different.
–simple: Output a simple one line message for modified packages.
–downgrade: Split the data for modified packages between upgraded and downgraded packages.

EXAMPLES

Compare source pkgs in two local repos:: repodiff –old=/tmp/repo-old –new=/tmp/repo-new
Compare x86_64 compat. binary pkgs in two remote repos, and two local one:: repodiff -a x86_64 –old=http://example.com/repo1-old –old=/tmp/repo-old –new=http://example.com/repo1-new –new=/tmp/repo-new
Compare x86_64 compat. binary pkgs, but also compare arch:: repodiff -a x86_64 –compare-arch –old=http://example.com/repo1-old –old=/tmp/repo-old –new=http://example.com/repo1-new –new=/tmp/repo-new
Compare two releases of Fedora (15 => 16):: repodiff –old=’mirror:https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-source-15&arch=i386′ –new=’mirror:https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-source-16&arch=i386′ –size –simple –downgrade
