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)
