Urpm-tools
From Rosalab Wiki
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.

Installation
1. Add media where the newest version of urpm-tools can be found.
For 32-bit system run:
sudo urpmi.addmedia akirilenko_personal http://abf.rosalinux.ru/downloads/akirilenko_personal/repository/rosa2012lts/i586/main/release/
For 64-bit system run:
sudo urpmi.addmedia akirilenko_personal http://abf.rosalinux.ru/downloads/akirilenko_personal/repository/rosa2012lts/x86_64/main/release/
2. Install urpm-tools package
sudo urpmi urpm-tools
List of Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| urpm-reposync | synchronize with remote repository (analogue of distrosync from yum-utils) |
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 | query 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.py [-h] [-u] [-r] [-a] [-b] [-s] [-d] [-D] [--version]
[-v] [-q]
[--include-media INCLUDE_MEDIA [INCLUDE_MEDIA ...]]
[--exclude-media EXCLUDE_MEDIA [EXCLUDE_MEDIA ...]]

[--dest-dir DEST_DIR]
packages [packages ...]
positional arguments:
packages Package name(s) to download. It can contain not only
package names, but (S)RPM files too. In this case
package name extracted from this file will be used
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-u, --urls Instead of downloading files, list the URLs that would
be processed
-r, --resolve When downloading RPMs, resolve dependencies and also
download the required packages, if they are not
already installed
-a, --resolve-all When downloading RPMs, resolve dependencies and also
download the required packages, even if they are
already installed
-b, --binary Download binary RPMs
-s, --source Download the source RPMs (SRPMs)
-d, --debug-info Download debug RPMs
-D, --debug-info-install
Download debug RPMs and install
--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 URPM media
--exclude-media EXCLUDE_MEDIA [EXCLUDE_MEDIA ...]
Do not use selected URPM media
-x EXCLUDE_PACKAGES [EXCLUDE_PACKAGES ...], --exclude-packages EXCLUDE_PACKAGES [EXCLUDE_PACKAGES ...]
Exclude package(s) by regex
-i, --ignore-errors Try to continue when error occurs
-o, --overwrite If the file already exists, download it again and
overwrite the old one
--all-alternatives If package dependency can be satisfied by several
packages, download all of them (by default, only the
first one is downloaded)
--all-versions If different versions of package present in
repository, process them all
--dest-dir DEST_DIR Specify a destination directory for the download
If none of the options -b, -s, -d turned on, it will be treated as -b
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.py [-h] [--qf QF] [--auto] [--version] [--orphans]
[--update] [--media media [media ...]]
[--excludemedia media [media ...]] [--problems]

[--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
