Urpm-tools is a set of utilities for manipulating urpmi repositories.
Urpm-tools are partially based on yum-utils but significantly extends their functionality. For convenience, utilities from urpm-tools have similar names as their analogues from yum-utils and the same options for the same actions.

List of Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| urpm-distrosync | synchronize with remote repository |
| urpm-downloader | download binary, source or debuginfo packages with all dependencies (this tool combines functionality of yum-downloader and debuginfo-install from yum-utils) |
| urpm-package-cleanup | manage package cleanup - look for duplicates and outstanding dependency problems |
| urpm-repoclosure | detect unresolved dependencies in repository |
| urpm-repodiff | compare two or more repositories, returns a list of added, removed or changed packages |
| urpm-repograph | generate a full package dependency graph for repository in dot format |
| urpm-repomanage | analyze a directory of rpm packages, return a list of newest or oldest packages |
In future we are planning to add the following tools:
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| urpm-build-distrib | create 'distribution' by joining several repositories |
For completeness, one should note that some possibilities provided by yum-utils and other auxiliary yum tools are already supported by urpmi & co.:
| Yum Tool | Urpmi analogue | Description |
|---|---|---|
| yum-builddep | urpmi --buildrequires | install packages required to build given SRPM (using the package itself or its spec file) |
| createrepo | genhdlist2 | create repository from a set of packages |
| repoquery | urpmq | queyr repository for package information (in the similar way like rpm queries local rpmdb) |

urpm-downloader
A tool for downloading RPMs from Urpmi repositories
Usage:
urpm-downloader [-h] [--urls] [-r] [-s] [--version] [-v] [-q]
[--include-media INCLUDE_MEDIA [INCLUDE_MEDIA ...]]
[--exclude-media EXCLUDE_MEDIA [EXCLUDE_MEDIA ...]]
[--exclude-packages EXCLUDE_PACKAGES [EXCLUDE_PACKAGES ...]]
[--fail-broken] [--overwrite] [--all-alternatives]
packages [packages ...]
positional arguments:
packages Package name(s) to download
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--urls Instead of downloading RPMs, list the URLs that would
be downloaded
-r, --resolve When downloading RPMs, resolve dependencies and also
download the required packages
-s, --source Instead of downloading the binary RPMs, download the
source RPMs
--version show program's version number and exit
-v, --verbose verbose (print additional info)
-q, --quiet Quiet operation
--include-media INCLUDE_MEDIA [INCLUDE_MEDIA ...], --media INCLUDE_MEDIA [INCLUDE_MEDIA ...]
use only selected media
--exclude-media EXCLUDE_MEDIA [EXCLUDE_MEDIA ...]
do not use selected media
--exclude-packages EXCLUDE_PACKAGES [EXCLUDE_PACKAGES ...]
Exclude package(s) by name or glob
--fail-broken When the package with depsolving problems found, do
not skip it, but exit.
--overwrite If the file already exists, download it again and
overwrite the old one.
--all-alternatives While resolving dependencies, if alternative packages
present, download all of them.
urpm-repodiff
Take 2 or more repositories and return a list of added, removed and changed packages.
Usage:
urpm-repodiff --old old_repo_baseurl [old_repo_baseurl ...] --new new_repo_baseurl [new_repo_baseurl ...]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-o, --old old_repo_baseurl [old_repo_baseurl ...]
URLs to old repository
-n, --new new_repo_baseurl [new_repo_baseurl ...]
URLs to new repository
-s, --size show differences in package sizes
--simple simple output format
urpm-package-cleanup
Find problems in the rpmdb of system and correct them.
The tool can perform the following actions:
- Look for situation when multiple versions of the same package are installed; the tool can automatically uninstall all versions except the latest one.
- There is a separate check for kernel packages; it takes into account running kernel and never tries to uninstall it, and in addition allows to specify number of kernels that should be left in the system.
- Look for installed packages that are not available in any configured repository (this is just a wrapper for `urpmq --not-available`).
- Look for installed packages that have unmet dependencies.
- List "leaf" nodes in the local RPM database. Leaf nodes are RPMs that are not relied upon by any other RPM.
Usage:
urpm-package-cleanup [-h] [--qf QF] [--orphans] [--auto] [--version]
[--problems] [--suggests] [--dupes]
[--cleandupes] [--noscripts] [--leaves] [--all]
[--leaf-regex LEAF_REGEX] [--exclude-devel]
[--exclude-bin] [--oldkernels]
[--count KERNELCOUNT] [--keepdevel]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--qf QF, --queryformat QF
Query format to use for output.
--auto Use non-interactive mode
--version show program's version number and exit
Orphans Options:
--orphans List installed packages which are not available from
currently configured repositories
--update Use only update media. This means that urpmq will
search and resolve dependencies only in media marked
as containing updates (e.g. which have been created
with "urpmi.addmedia --update").
--media media [media ...]
Select specific media to be used, instead of
defaulting to all available media (or all update media
if --update is used). No rpm will be found in other
media.
--excludemedia media [media ...]
Do not use the specified media.
Dependency Problems Options:
--problems List dependency problems in the local RPM database
--suggests List missing suggestions of installed packages
Duplicate Package Options:
--dupes Scan for duplicates in your rpmdb
--cleandupes Scan for duplicates in your rpmdb and remove older
--noscripts disable rpm scriptlets from running when cleaning
duplicates
Leaf Node Options:
--leaves List leaf nodes in the local RPM database
--all list all packages leaf nodes that do not match leaf-
regex
--leaf-regex LEAF_REGEX
A package name that matches this regular expression
(case insensitively) is a leaf
--exclude-devel do not list development packages as leaf nodes
--exclude-bin do not list packages with files in a bin dirs as leaf
nodes
Old Kernel Options:
--oldkernels Remove old kernel and kernel-devel packages
--count KERNELCOUNT Number of kernel packages to keep on the system
(default 2)
--keepdevel Do not remove kernel-devel packages when removing
kernels
urpm-repomanage
Manage a directory of rpm packages and report newest or oldest packages
Usage:
urpm-repomanage [-h] [-o] [-n] [-s] [-k KEEP] [-c] path
positional arguments:
path path to directory with rpm packages
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-o, --old print the older packages
-n, --new print the newest packages (this is the default
behavior)
-s, --space space separated output, not newline
-k KEEP, --keep KEEP number of newest packages to keep - defaults to 1
-c, --nocheck do not check package payload signatures/digests
-V, --verbose be verbose - say which packages are decided to be old
and why (this info is dumped to STDERR)
