.TH "DNF5-REPOSYNC" "8" "Apr 18, 2025" "" "dnf5"
.SH NAME
dnf5-reposync \- Reposync Command
.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
\fBdnf5 [GLOBAL OPTIONS] reposync [OPTIONS]\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
The \fBreposync\fP command creates local copies of remote repositories. It avoids re\-downloading packages that are already present in the local directory.
.sp
By default, \fBreposync\fP synchronizes all enabled repositories. However, you can customize the set of repositories to be synchronized using standard DNF5 options such as \fB\-\-repo\fP, \fB\-\-enable\-repo\fP, or \fB\-\-disable\-repo\fP\&.
.SH OPTIONS
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \fB\-\-arch=<architecture>, \-a <architecture>\fP
Download only packages for the specified architecture. This option can be specified multiple times. The default behavior is to download packages for all architectures.
.TP
.B \fB\-\-delete\fP
Remove local packages that are no longer present in the remote repository.
.TP
.B \fB\-\-destdir=<path>\fP
Specifies the root path where downloaded repositories are stored, relative
to the current working directory. Defaults to the current working
directory. Each downloaded repository will have a subdirectory named after
its ID within this path.
.TP
.B \fB\-\-download\-metadata\fP
Download all repository metadata. The downloaded copy is instantly usable
as a repository without the need to run \fBcreaterepo_c\fP\&. When used with
\fB\-\-newest\-only\fP, only the latest package versions are downloaded. However,
the metadata will still reference also older packages. To avoid issues caused
by missing RPM files, consider updating the metadata using \fBcreaterepo_c \-\-update\fP\&.
Otherwise, DNF will encounter errors when attempting to install older packages.
.TP
.B \fB\-\-gpgcheck, \-g\fP
Remove packages that fail OpenPGP signature verification after downloading. The
command exits with a code of \fB1\fP if at least one package is removed.
.sp
Note: For repositories configured with \fBgpgcheck=0\fP, OpenPGP signatures are not
checked, even when this option is used.
.TP
.B \fB\-\-metadata\-path=<path>\fP
Specifies the root path where downloaded metadata files are stored. If not
specified, it defaults to the value of \fB\-\-destdir\fP\&.
.TP
.B \fB\-\-newest\-only, \-n\fP
Download only the latest package versions from each repository.
.TP
.B \fB\-\-norepopath\fP
Prevents the repository id from being added to the download path. This
option can only be used when syncing a single repository. (The default
behavior adds the repository id to the path.)
.TP
.B \fB\-\-remote\-time\fP
Attempts to set the timestamps of local downloaded files to match those on
the remote side.
.TP
.B \fB\-\-safe\-write\-path=<path>\fP
Defines the filesystem path prefix where reposync is allowed to write
files. If not specified, it defaults to the repository\(aqs download path.
This option is useful for repositories that use relative locations of
packages leading outside of the repository directory (e.g.,
\fB\&../packages_store/foo.rpm\fP).
.sp
Caution: Any file under the \fBsafe\-write\-path\fP can be overwritten. This option
can only be used when syncing a single repository.
.TP
.B \fB\-\-srpm\fP
Downloads source packages. Equivalent to using \fB\-\-arch=src\fP\&.
.TP
.B \fB\-\-urls, \-u\fP
Prints the URLs of the files that would be downloaded without actually
downloading them.
.UNINDENT
.SH EXAMPLES
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \fBdnf reposync \-\-repoid=the_repo\fP
Synchronize all packages from the repository with id \fBthe_repo\fP\&. The
synchronized copy is saved in \fBthe_repo\fP subdirectory of the current
working directory.
.TP
.B \fBdnf reposync \-\-destdir=/my/repos/path \-\-repoid=the_repo\fP
Synchronize all packages from the repository with id \fBthe_repo\fP\&. In this
case files are saved in \fB/my/repos/path/the_repo\fP directory.
.TP
.B \fBdnf reposync \-\-repoid=the_repo \-\-download\-metadata\fP
Synchronize all packages and metadata from \fBthe_repo\fP repository.
.sp
Repository synchronized with \fB\-\-download\-metadata\fP option can be directly
used with DNF for example by using \fB\-\-repofrompath\fP option:
.sp
\fBdnf \-\-repofrompath=syncedrepo,the_repo \-\-repoid=syncedrepo list \-\-available\fP
