NAME         top

       repodiff - list differences between two or more Yum repositories

SYNOPSIS         top

       repodiff --old=old_repo_baseurl --new=new_repo_baseurl

DESCRIPTION         top

       repodiff is a program which will list differences between two sets of
       repositories.  Note that by default only source packages are
       compared.

GENERAL OPTIONS         top

       --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
              downgraded packages.

EXAMPLES         top

       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://example.com/repo1-old --old=/tmp/repo-old
              --new=http://example.com/repo1-new --new=/tmp/repo-new
       Compare two releases of Fedora (15 => 16):
              repodiff
              --old='mirror:https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-
              source-15&arch=i386'
              --new='mirror:https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-
              source-16&arch=i386' --size --simple --downgrade
