NAME

       reposync - redirecting to DNF reposync Plugin

       Synchronize packages of a remote DNF repository to a local directory.

SYNOPSIS

       dnf reposync [options]

DESCRIPTION

       reposync  makes  local copies of remote repositories. Packages that are already present in
       the local directory are not downloaded again.

OPTIONS

       All general DNF options are accepted. Namely, the --repoid option can be used  to  specify
       the repositories to synchronize. See Options in dnf(8) for details.

       -a <architecture>, --arch=<architecture>
              Download  only  packages of given architectures (default is all architectures). Can
              be used multiple times.

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

       --download-metadata
              Download all  repository  metadata.  Downloaded  copy  is  instantly  usable  as  a
              repository,  no  need  to  run  createrepo_c  on  it.  When the option is used with
              –newest-only, only latest packages will be  downloaded,  but  metadata  will  still
              contain  older  packages.  It might be useful to update metadata using createrepo_c
              –update to remove the packages with missing RPM files from metadata. Otherwise, DNF
              ends  with  an  error  due to the missing files whenever it tries to download older
              packages.

       -g, --gpgcheck
              Remove packages that fail GPG signature checking after downloading. Exit code is  1
              if  at  least  one package was removed.  Note that for repositories with gpgcheck=0
              set in their configuration the GPG signature is not checked even with  this  option
              used.

       -m, --downloadcomps
              Also  download  and uncompress comps.xml. Consider using --download-metadata option
              which will download all available repository metadata.

       --metadata-path
              Root  path  under  which  the  downloaded  metadata  are  stored.  It  defaults  to
              --download-path value if not given.

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

       --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).

       -p <download-path>, --download-path=<download-path>
              Root path under which the downloaded  repositories  are  stored,  relative  to  the
              current  working  directory.  Defaults  to  the  current  working  directory. Every
              downloaded repository has a subdirectory named after its ID under this path.

       --safe-write-path
              Specify the filesystem path prefix under which the reposync is allowed to write. If
              not  specified  it  defaults  to  download  path  of  the  repository.  Useful  for
              repositories that use relative locations of packages out  of  repository  directory
              (e.g.   “../packages_store/foo.rpm”).   Use   with   care,   any   file  under  the
              safe-write-path can be  overwritten.  Can  be  only  used  when  syncing  a  single
              repository.

       --remote-time
              Try to set the timestamps of the downloaded files to those on the remote side.

       --source
              Download only source packages.

       -u, --urls
              Just print urls of what would be downloaded, don’t download.

EXAMPLES

       dnf reposync --repoid=the_repo
              Synchronize  all  packages from the repository with id “the_repo”. The synchronized
              copy is saved in “the_repo” subdirectory of the current working directory.

       dnf reposync -p /my/repos/path --repoid=the_repo
              Synchronize all packages from the repository with id “the_repo”. In this case files
              are saved in “/my/repos/path/the_repo” directory.

       dnf reposync --repoid=the_repo --download-metadata
              Synchronize all packages and metadata from “the_repo” repository.

       Repository  synchronized  with  --download-metadata option can be directly used in DNF for
       example by using --repofrompath option:

       dnf --repofrompath=syncedrepo,the_repo --repoid=syncedrepo list --available
