SYNOPSIS
rpmirror [ -V | --version ] [ -v | --verbose | -d level | --debug=level
] [ -h | --help ] [ -p | --paths ] [ -n | --simulate ]
--ports=port[,...] --releases=release[,...] --layout=layout src-url

DESCRIPTION
Rpmmirror is a simple tool to mirror sections of RPM repositories. It
takes two arguments: the URL of the source from which to download (e.g.
http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/fedora-epel/) and the directory
into which to download to (e.g. ~/my-mirrors/epel/). Note that the
three options --ports, --releases and --layout are not optional.
CONFIGURATION
None.
OPTIONS
-d level, --debug=level Determines how verbose this program will be.
The message types displayed for the different
values of level are as follows: 0 displays no
messages; 1 displays only errors, 2 displays
errors and warnings; 3 displays errors, warn-
ings and informational messages; higher values
display errors, warnings, informational mes-
sages and various messages intended for debug-
ging. The default is 2.
-h, --help Displays a brief usage message.
-p, --paths Lists the compiled-in paths of various files
and directories that this program uses. -n,
--simulate Some external commands that this
program runs may be displayed rather than ac-
tually executed. BEWARE: different programs
implement different levels of simulation; so
this option may work perfectly; on the other
hand it may do nothing at all!
-v, --verbose Equivalent to -d 3.
-V, --version Prints the program's version number and exits.
--ports=port,... Specifies a comma-separated list of ports
(i.e. CPU architectures) to download.
--releases=releases,... Specifies a comma-separated list of releases
to download.
--layout=layout Specifies the internal structure of the repos-
itory, i.e. how to get from src-url to the di-
rectory containing the release- and architec-
ture-specific files. Normally, this is one or
two levels above where the repoview (see
yum(8)) directory is to be found. layout may
contain <port> or <release>, which will be re-
placed by the values specified in the --ports
and --releases options respectively. Different
repositories have different internal struc-
tures; see 'EXAMPLES' below.
EXIT STATUS
On success rpmmirror returns zero. On failure it returns non-zero and
displays a diagnostic message.
FILES
None.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
None.
EXAMPLES
The following command would mirror the x86_64 port of Fedora 39 into
the directory ~/my-mirrors/fedora:
rpmmirror --ports=x86_64 --releases=39 \
--layout="<release>/Everything/<port>" \
https://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/archive.fedoraproject.org/fedora/linux/releases/ ~/my-mirrors/fedora
If you want to mirror only the packages and not debug-enabled packages
and ISOs, then you can extend the layout a little deeper into the di-
rectory hierarchy to where the repoview directory can be found):
rpmmirror --ports=x86_64 --releases=39 \
--layout="<release>/Everything/<port>/os" \
https://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/archive.fedoraproject.org/fedora/linux/releases/ ~/my-mirrors/fedora
The following command would mirror the i386 and x86_64 ports of Centos
6, 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 into the directory ~/my-mirrors/centos:
rpmmirror --ports=i386,x86_64 --releases=6,6.1,6.2,6.3 \
--layout="<release>/os/<port>" \
http://mirror.euserv.net/linux/centos/ ~/my-mirrors/centos
The following command would mirror the i386 and x86_64 ports of Scien-
tificLinux 6, 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 into the directory ~/my-mirrors/sl:
rpmmirror --ports=i386,x86_64 --releases=6,6.1,6.2,6.3 \
--layout="<release>/<port>/os" \
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/ ~/my-mirrors/sl
The following command would mirror the i386 and x86_64 ports of EPEL 4,
5 and 6 into the directory ~/my-mirrors/epel:
rpmmirror --ports=i386,x86_64 --releases=4,5,6 \
--layout="<release>/<port>" \
http://mirrors.n-ix.net/fedora-epel/ ~/my-mirrors/epel
CAVEATS
The term 'port' is what Debian calls architectures.
Since layout normally contains the characters '<' and '>', it should be
quoted to prevent the shell from interpreting these characters, as in
the examples above.
