== Installation ==
 +
 
 +
1. Add media where the newest version of urpm-tools can be found.
 +
 
 +
For 32-bit system run:
 +
sudo urpmi.addmedia akirilenko_personal http://abf.rosalinux.ru/downloads/akirilenko_personal/repository/rosa2012lts/i586/main/release/
 +
 
 +
For 64-bit system run:
 +
sudo urpmi.addmedia akirilenko_personal http://abf.rosalinux.ru/downloads/akirilenko_personal/repository/rosa2012lts/x86_64/main/release/
 +
 
 +
2. Install urpm-tools package
 +

Urpm-tools is a set of utilities for manipulating urpmi repositories.

Urpm-tools are partially based on yum-utils but significantly extends their functionality. For convenience, utilities from urpm-tools have similar names as their analogues from yum-utils and the same options for the same actions.

Installation

1. Add media where the newest version of urpm-tools can be found.

For 32-bit system run: 

sudo urpmi.addmedia akirilenko_personal http://abf.rosalinux.ru/downloads/akirilenko_personal/repository/rosa2012lts/i586/main/release/

For 64-bit system run: 

sudo urpmi.addmedia akirilenko_personal http://abf.rosalinux.ru/downloads/akirilenko_personal/repository/rosa2012lts/x86_64/main/release/

2. Install urpm-tools package 

sudo urpmi urpm-tools

List of Tools

Tool Description
urpm-downloader download binary, source or debuginfo packages with all dependencies (this tool combines functionality of yum-downloader and debuginfo-install from yum-utils)
urpm-package-cleanup manage package cleanup - look for duplicates and outstanding dependency problems
urpm-repoclosure detect unresolved dependencies in repository
urpm-repodiff compare two or more repositories, returns a list of added, removed or changed packages
urpm-repograph generate a full package dependency graph for repository in dot format
urpm-repomanage analyze a directory of rpm packages, return a list of newest or oldest packages
urpm-reposync synchronize with remote repository (analogue of distrosync from yum-utils)

For completeness, one should note that some possibilities provided by yum-utils and other auxiliary yum tools are already supported by urpmi & co.:

Yum Tool Urpmi analogue Description
yum-builddep urpmi --buildrequires install packages required to build given SRPM (using the package itself or its spec file)
createrepo genhdlist2 create repository from a set of packages
repoquery urpmq query repository for package information (in the similar way like rpm queries local rpmdb)

                          packages [packages ...]

positional arguments:
  packages              Package name(s) to download. It can contain not only
                        package names, but (S)RPM files too. In this case
                        package name extracted from this file will be used

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -u, --urls            Instead of downloading files, list the URLs that would
                        be processed
  -r, --resolve         When downloading RPMs, resolve dependencies and also
                        download the required packages, if they are not
                        already installed
  -a, --resolve-all     When downloading RPMs, resolve dependencies and also
                        download the required packages, even if they are
                        already installed
  -b, --binary          Download binary RPMs
  -s, --source          Download the source RPMs (SRPMs)
  -d, --debug-info      Download debug RPMs

  --include-media INCLUDE_MEDIA [INCLUDE_MEDIA ...], --media INCLUDE_MEDIA [INCLUDE_MEDIA ...]
                        Use only selected URPM media
  --exclude-media EXCLUDE_MEDIA [EXCLUDE_MEDIA ...]
                        Do not use selected URPM media
  -x EXCLUDE_PACKAGES [EXCLUDE_PACKAGES ...], --exclude-packages EXCLUDE_PACKAGES [EXCLUDE_PACKAGES ...]

  -i, --ignore-errors   Try to continue when error occurs
  -o, --overwrite       If the file already exists, download it again and
                        overwrite the old one
  --all-alternatives    If package dependency can be satisfied by several
                        packages, download all of them (by default, only the
                        first one is downloaded)
  --all-versions        If different versions of package present in
                        repository, process them all
  --dest-dir DEST_DIR   Specify a destination directory for the download

If none of the options -b, -s, -d turned on, it will be treated as -b

urpm-package-cleanup

Find problems in the rpmdb of system and correct them.

The tool can perform the following actions:

  1. Look for situation when multiple versions of the same package are installed; the tool can automatically uninstall all versions except the latest one.
    • There is a separate check for kernel packages; it takes into account running kernel and never tries to uninstall it, and in addition allows to specify number of kernels that should be left in the system.
  2. Look for installed packages that are not available in any configured repository (this is just a wrapper for `urpmq --not-available`).
  3. Look for installed packages that have unmet dependencies.
  4. List "leaf" nodes in the local RPM database. Leaf nodes are RPMs that are not relied upon by any other RPM.

Usage: 

urpm-package-cleanup.py [-h] [--qf QF] [--auto] [--version] [--orphans]
                               [--update] [--media media [media ...]]
                               [--excludemedia media [media ...]] [--problems]
                               [--suggests] [--dupes] [--cleandupes]
                               [--noscripts] [--leaves] [--all]
                               [--leaf-regex LEAF_REGEX] [--exclude-devel]
                               [--exclude-bin] [--oldkernels]
                               [--count KERNELCOUNT] [--keepdevel]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --qf QF, --queryformat QF
                        Query format to use for output.

                        currently configured repositories
  --update              Use only update media. This means that urpmq will
                        search and resolve dependencies only in media marked
                        as containing updates (e.g. which have been created
                        with "urpmi.addmedia --update").
  --media media [media ...]
                        Select specific media to be used, instead of
                        defaulting to all available media (or all update media
                        if --update is used). No rpm will be found in other
                        media.
  --excludemedia media [media ...]
                        Do not use the specified media.

  --all                 list all packages leaf nodes that do not match leaf-
                        regex
  --leaf-regex LEAF_REGEX
                        A package name that matches this regular expression
                        (case insensitively) is a leaf
  --exclude-devel       do not list development packages as leaf nodes
  --exclude-bin         do not list packages with files in a bin dirs as leaf
                        nodes

  --count KERNELCOUNT   Number of kernel packages to keep on the system
                        (default 2)
