fedora-repoquery
A dnf wrapper to repoquery different Fedora releases,
caching repodata separately per release.
It also supports EPEL and Centos Stream repos.
Usage
Usage examples:
$ fedora-repoquery rawhide firefox
firefox-130.0-1.fc42.x86_64 (fedora-rawhide)
$ fedora-repoquery 40 --requires filesystem
setup
$ fedora-repoquery epel9 ghc
ghc-8.10.7-116.el9.x86_64 (epel9)
$ fedora-repoquery c10 bash
bash-5.2.26-4.el10.x86_64 (c10s-BaseOS)
$ fedora-repoquery eln kernel
kernel-6.11.0-0.rc6.20240906gitb831f83e40a2.53.eln142.x86_64 (eln-BaseOS)
Without a release argument, the system yum repo configuration is used:
$ fedora-repoquery pandoc
pandoc-3.1.11.1-32.fc41.x86_64 (rawhide)
but then currently you have to insert -- before a query option:
$ fedora-repoquery -- --whatrequires pandoc
R-reprex-2.0.2-12.fc41.noarch (rawhide)
R-rmarkdown-2.24-5.fc41.noarch (rawhide)
pandoc-pdf-3.1.11.1-32.fc41.x86_64 (rawhide)
python3-nb2plots-0.7.2-5.fc41.noarch (rawhide)
python3-pypandoc-1.13-6.fc41.noarch (rawhide)
rstudio-common-2024.04.2+764-3.fc41.x86_64 (rawhide)
Use the --time (-T) option to display repo timestamps:
$ fedora-repoquery -T 41 fedrq
2024-07-16 19:45:44 +08 <https://mirror.freedif.org/fedora/fedora/linux/development/rawhide>
fedrq-1.1.0-3.fc41.noarch (fedora-rawhide)
Repo timestamp(s) are output when there are no query args
after the release version:
$ fedora-repoquery 40
2024-04-20 02:22:34 +08 <https://mirror.freedif.org/fedora/fedora/linux/releases/40/>
2024-09-07 09:37:56 +08 <https://mirror.freedif.org/fedora/fedora/linux/updates/40/>
One can also query multiple releases (or arch's):
$ fedora-repoquery 40 41 python3 | grep x86_64
python3-3.12.2-2.fc40.x86_64 (f40)
python3-3.12.5-2.fc40.x86_64 (f40-updates)
python3-3.13.0~rc1-2.fc41.x86_64 (f41-development)
python3-3.13.0~rc1-3.fc41.x86_64 (f41-updates-testing)
