💅 DNF4-REPOCLOSURE(8) 💅

ok so this is the dnf4-repoclosure page from dnf-plugins-core, bestie, and it's literally about finding the packages whose deps just... don't resolve. iconic detective work tbh 🕵️‍♀️

✨ NAME ✨

dnf4-repoclosure — the DNF repoclosure Plugin, no cap.

It displays a list of unresolved dependencies for repositories. it's giving "who forgot to bring the snacks to the group chat" energy 🎀

🌸 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. that's it, that's the whole gig. lowkey a vibe check for your repos ✨

🫶 Options

all the general DNF options are accepted too, bestie — peek at Options in dnf(8) for the deets 💖

  • --arch <arch> — query only packages for the specified architecture, and yeah you can specify it multiple times (default is all compatible architectures with your system). want to run repoclosure for an arch that's not compatible with your system? use --forcearch=<arch> to change basearch. slay 🦋
  • --best — check only the newest packages per arch. only the main characters, no filler 💅
  • --check <repoid> — specify repo ids to check, can be specified multiple times (default is all enabled). yes queen, more than one 🎀
  • --newest — check only the newest packages in the repos. out with the old 📦
  • --pkg <pkg-spec> — check closure for this package only. just the one, focused, single-minded ✨
  • --repo <repoid> — specify repo ids to query, can be specified multiple times (default is all enabled). stack 'em up 💜

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

Display list of unresolved dependencies for all enabled repositories — the classic, the default, the moment:

dnf repoclosure

Display list of unresolved dependencies for rawhide repository and packages with architecture noarch and x86_64 — two --arch flags, we love a repeatable option:

dnf repoclosure --repo rawhide --arch noarch --arch x86_64

Display list of unresolved dependencies for zmap package from rawhide repository — one package, one repo, zero drama:

dnf repoclosure --repo rawhide --pkg zmap

Display list of unresolved dependencies for myrepo, an add-on for the rawhide repository — note --repo for querying and --check for the add-on, they're different besties:

dnf repoclosure --repo rawhide --check myrepo
