NAME

dnf5-repomanage - Repomanage Command

SYNOPSIS

dnf5 [GLOBAL OPTIONS] repomanage [OPTIONS] <path>

DESCRIPTION

repomanage prints newest or older packages in a repository specified by <path> for easy piping to xargs or similar programs. In case <path> doesn't contain repodata/repomd.xml, it is searched for rpm packages which are then used instead. If the repodata are present, repomanage uses them as the source of truth, it doesn't verify that they match the present rpm packages. In fact, repomanage can run with just the repodata, no rpm packages are needed.

If <path> specifies remote url, repomanage attempts to download the remote repodata into a temporary directory and use them.

--old

Print all packages except the N newest for each name.arch

-k <N>, --keep <N>

Set package count N for --new and --old (default: 1)

-s, --space
