Project description
fedrq
⚠️ This project is a work in progress. ⚠️
A tool for querying the Fedora and EPEL repositories
fedrq makes it easy to query any branch of Fedora or EPEL. It uses the dnf
Python bindings and does not shell out to dnf repoquery. It allows querying
for reverse dependencies, packages that contain a certain Provide or file,
subpackages of an SRPM, and package metadata.
The tool doesn't seek to replace every feature of dnf repoquery. It provides a
more user friendly interface than dnf repoquery for certain common tasks.
Installation
fedrq has a copr repository at gotmax23/fedrq that contains released versions. Development snapshots are available at gotmax23/fedrq-dev. The RPM specfile is in the repository root.
The package can also be installed from source with pip or any other PEP 517
frontend. The following additional system packages are required:
- python3-dnf
- fedora-repos-rawhide
Note that fedrq can only be installed for the system python interpreter.
fedrq cannot be installed in a venv unless it has --system-site-packages,
as it needs to find dnf.
fedrq check-config --dump requires tomli-w.
The RPM package weakly depends on python3-tomli-w.
Versioning
This project is in alpha. fedrq.cli.* is internal to this module. A stable
API for fedrq.repoquery and fedrq.config may be provided down the line. The
CLI interface is also subject to small changes.
Documentaion
See fedrq(1) (source) for the CLI interface and fedrq(5) (source) for the config file format.
Contributing
Development, issue reporting, and project discussion happen on the mailing list (~gotmax23/fedrq@lists.sr.ht).
See CONTRIBUTING.md.
