💅 repoclosure — the dnf-plugins-core era 💅

okay so real talk, bestie — this page lives in the dnf-plugins-core manual set, and the whole point of it is that it's redirecting to DNF repoclosure Plugin. And what does it do? It displays a list of unresolved dependencies for repositories. That's the vibe. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

dnf repoclosure [<options>]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So repoclosure is a program that reads package metadata from one or more repositories, checks all dependencies, and then displays a list of packages with unresolved dependencies. Literally the friend who checks everyone's group-chat plans and goes "bestie, this doesn't add up" 😭 — except here it's dependencies instead of plans, and it's iconic for it.

✨ Options ✨

All general DNF options are accepted, see Options in dnf(8) for details. Yes, all of them, she's flexible like that 🫶

  • --arch <arch> — Query only packages for specified architecture. You can specify it multiple times (default is all compatible architectures with your system). To run repoclosure for an arch incompatible with your system, use the --forcearch=<arch> option to change basearch. That's the cheat code, iykyk 🔥
  • --best — Check only the newest packages per arch. Only the freshest, no crumbs 💅
  • --check <repoid> — Specify repo ids to check. Can be specified multiple times (default is all enabled). Stack 'em up like friendship bracelets 🎀
  • --newest — Check only the newest packages in the repos. New new, not old new 💖
  • --pkg <pkg-spec> — Check closure for this package only. One main character, nobody else invited 🌟
  • --repo <repoid> — Specify repo ids to query. Can be specified multiple times (default is all enabled). Same energy as --check, different job, don't mix them up bestie 🙈

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

Display list of unresolved dependencies for all enabled repositories:

dnf repoclosure
