REPOMDXML2SOLV(1)

💖 NAME 💖

repomdxml2solv — bestie, it converts a repomd.xml file into a solv file. that's the whole job. iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

repomdxml2solv [OPTIONS]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so first things first: the repomd.xml file is the index file of a rpm-md repository, and it's literally holding references to all the data files with checksums. very main character of it.

The repomdxml2solv tool reads that repomd.xml file from stdin and writes the parsed data out as a solv file to standard output. and where does all that data go, you ask? it's stored as meta attributes in the result. periodt. 💅

• -q WHAT — Data query mode! instead of writing a solv file, it selects the WHAT element in the input data and writes it to standard output. like, it's giving "just tell me this one thing." examples for WHAT are type — which gets you a list of all types — and primary:location, which gets you the location of the element with type primary. so useful, honestly. 🫶
