DESCRIPTIONrepodiff is a program which will list differences between two sets of
repositories. Note that by default only source packages are compared.
GENERAL OPTIONS--old, -o
Add a repo. as an old repo. Note that if you prefix the url with
"mirror:" then the following url is treated as a mirror and not
a baseurl.
--new, -n
Add a repo. as an new repo. Note that if you prefix the url with
"mirror:" then the following url is treated as a mirror and not
a baseurl.
--archlist, -a
Add architectures to change the default from just comparing
source packages. Note that if you want the same as a native
"x86_64" architecture machine you just need to pass "x86_64"
(this is different from earlier versions where you needed to
specify "x86_64,athlon,i686,i586,i486,i386,noarch" and you still
got "src").
--size, -s
Output additional data about the size of the changes.
--compare-arch
Normally packages are just compared based on their name, this
flag makes the comparison also use the arch. So foo.i386 and
foo.x86_64 are different.
--simple
Output a simple one line message for modified packages.
--downgrade
Split the data for modified packages between upgraded and down‐
graded packages.
EXAMPLES
Compare source pkgs in two local repos:
repodiff --old=/tmp/repo-old --new=/tmp/repo-new
Compare x86_64 compat. binary pkgs in two remote repos, and two local
one:
repodiff-a x86_64 --old=http://example.com/repo1-old
--old=/tmp/repo-old --new=http://example.com/repo1-new
--new=/tmp/repo-new
Compare x86_64 compat. binary pkgs, but also compare arch:
repodiff-a x86_64 --compare-arch --old=http://exam‐
ple.com/repo1-old --old=/tmp/repo-old --new=http://exam‐
ple.com/repo1-new --new=/tmp/repo-new
Compare two releases of Fedora (15 => 16):
repodiff --old='mirror:https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/met‐
alink?repo=fedora-source-15&arch=i386' --new='mir‐
ror:https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-
source-16&arch=i386' --size --simple --downgrade
