repoview (8) Linux Manual Page
repoview – Make YUM repositories browseable
Synopsis
repoview [options] repodir
Description
RepoView allows one to easily create a set of static HTML pages in a YUM repository, allowing simple browsing of available packages. It uses kid templating engine to create the pages and is therefore easily customizeable.
Options
-i, –ignore-package NAME- Optionally ignore this package — can be a shell-style glob. This is useful for excluding debuginfo packages:
-i *debuginfo* -i *doc*
The globbing will be done against name-epoch-version-release, e.g. foo-0-1.0-1 -x, –exclude-arch ARCH- Optionally exclude this arch. E.g.:
-x src -x ia64 -k, –template-dir DIR- Use an alternative directory with kid templates instead of the default: ./templates. The template directory must contain four required template files: index.kid, group.kid, package.kid, rss.kid and the "layout" dir which will be copied into the repoview directory.
-o, –output-dir DIR- Create the repoview pages in this subdirectory inside the repository (default: "repoview")
-s, –state-dir DIR- Create the state-tracking db in this directory (default: store in output directory)
-t, –title TITLE- Describe the repository in a few words. By default "RepoView" is used. E.g.:
-t "Extras for Fedora Core 3 x86" -u, –url URL- Repository URL to use when generating the RSS feed. E.g.:
-u "http://fedoraproject.org/extras/5/i386"
Not providing a url will disable RSS feed generation. -f, –force- Regenerate the pages even if the repomd checksum has not changed.
-q, –quiet- Do not output anything except fatal errors.
-c, –comps- Use an alternative comps.xml file, instead of the one specified in repomd.
-V, –version- Print version number and exit.
-h, –help- Print usage message and exit.
repodir- Where to look for the "repodata" directory.
Files
/usr/bin/repoview
/usr/share/repoview/templates/*
Examples
The simplest invocation is: repoview /path/to/repository
repoview -t ‘Fedora Extras 4 ix86’ /path/to/repository When running from cron, you want to use the -q switch: repoview -q /path/to/repository
This will generate an RSS feed: repoview -u http://example.com/repo/i386 /path/to/repository
