NAME

       reposync - synchronize yum repositories to a local directory

SYNOPSIS

       reposync [options]

DESCRIPTION

       reposync is used to synchronize a remote yum repository to a
       local directory, using yum to retrieve the packages.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Display a help message, and then quit.

       -c CONFIG, --config=CONFIG
              Config file to use (defaults to /etc/yum.conf).

       -a ARCH, --arch=ARCH
              Act as if running the specified arch (default: current
              arch, note: does not override $releasever. x86_64 is a
              superset for i*86.).

       --source
              Also download .src.rpm files.

       -r REPOID, --repoid=REPOID
              Specify repo ids to query, can be specified multiple times
              (default is all enabled).

       -e CACHEDIR, --cachedir CACHEDIR
              Directory in which to store metadata.

       -t, --tempcache
              Use a temp dir for storing/accessing yum-cache.

       -d, --delete
              Delete local packages no longer present in repository.

       -p DESTDIR, --download_path=DESTDIR
              Path to download packages to: defaults to current
              directory.

       --norepopath
              Don't add the reponame to the download path.  Can only be
              used when syncing a single repository (default is to add
              the reponame).

       -g, --gpgcheck
              Remove packages that fail GPG signature checking after
              downloading.  exit status is '1' if at least one package
              was removed.

       -u, --urls
              Just list urls of what would be downloaded, don't
              download.

       -l, --plugins
              Enable yum plugin support.

       -m, --downloadcomps
              Also download comps.xml.

       --download-metadata
              Download all the non-default metadata

       -n, --newest-only
              Download only newest packages per-repo.

       -q, --quiet
              Output as little information as possible.

       --allow-path-traversal
              Allow packages stored outside their repo directory to be
              synced.  These are packages that are referenced in
              metadata by using absolute paths or up-level ".." symbols,
              and are normally skipped by reposync for security reasons.

              CAUTION: Using this option has potential security
              implications since, by providing malicious repodata, an
              attacker could make reposync write to arbitrary locations
              on the file system that are accessible by the user running
              it.

EXAMPLES

       Sync all packages from the 'updates' repo to the current
       directory:
               reposync --repoid=updates

       Sync only the newest packages from the 'updates' repo to the
       current directory:
               reposync -n --repoid=updates

       Sync packages from the 'updates' and 'extras' repos to the
       current directory:
               reposync --repoid=updates --repoid=extras

       Sync all packages from the 'updates' repo to the repos directory:
               reposync -p repos --repoid=updates

       Sync all packages from the 'updates' repo to the repos directory
       excluding x86_64 arch. Edit /etc/yum.conf adding option
       exclude=*.x86_64. Then:
              reposync -p repos --repoid=updates

FILES

       reposync uses the yum libraries for retrieving information and
       packages. If no configuration file is specified, the default yum
       configuration will be used.

       /etc/yum.conf
       /etc/yum/repos.d/
