💖 NAME 💖

dnf5-info — the Info Command, aka the one where dnf5 spills ALL the tea about a package ✨

It's part of the dnf5 manual, bestie, and it's literally just the "tell me everything" button 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dnf5 info [options] [<package-spec-NI>...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so here's the vibe: dnf5 info prints detailed information about packages based on the parameters you hand it. That's it, that's the whole job 💅

You give it a package (or several, or none, we don't gatekeep), it gives you the full dossier. Main character energy for your package list 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --showduplicates — show every version of the packages, not just the latest one. For when you simply must see the whole timeline 🕰️
  • --installed-from-repo=REPO_ID,... — filters installed packages by the ID of the repository they were installed from. Give it a comma-separated list of repo IDs and it'll only show you the ones that came from there 📦
  • --installed — list only installed packages. The ones already living in your system rent-free 🏠
  • --available — list only available packages. The ones still waiting in the repos, watching from the sidelines 👀
  • --extras — list only extras: packages installed on the system that are not available in any known repository. Orphans fr fr 😭
  • --obsoletes — list only packages installed on the system that are obsoleted by packages in any known repository. Basically they got replaced and nobody told them 💀
  • --recent — list only packages recently added to the repositories. Fresh off the truck, no cap 🌈
  • --upgrades — list only available upgrades for installed packages. Glow-up alert ⭐
  • --autoremove — list only packages that will be removed by the autoremove command <#autoremove-command-ref-label>. Peep that reference, iykyk 🙈

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

  • dnf5 info — display detailed information about installed and available packages. No args, no problem, it just serves you everything 🍓
  • dnf5 info --recent gnome* — print information about recent packages whose names start with gnome. Yes the * glob goes hard, that's the point ✨
