Yum repository management tool

uvalde: yum repository management tool

Uvalde is a simple CLI tool for managing yum repositories. There is no daemon and no web interface, just a directory of yum repositories and a small sqlite database to remember what RPMs were built from the same SRPM.

Usage

Configuration

Before running the application, create a config file to define the repositories you want to manage. The base directory doesn't need to exist yet, uvalde will create it if needed.

~/.config/uvalde/repos.ini

[my-repo]
base = /home/me/my-repo
architectures = i686, x86_64

[my-other-repo]
base = /home/me/my-other-repo
architectures = i686, x86_64

$ uvalde list repos
my-repo
my-other-repo

Now you can import RPM files and they will be placed at the appropriate locations relative to your repository base. Repository metadata will also be generated.

$ uvalde import my-repo cello-*.rpm
cello-1.0-1.i686.rpm -> /home/me/my-repo/i686/packages/c/
cello-1.0-1.src.rpm -> /home/me/my-repo/src/packages/c/
cello-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm -> /home/me/my-repo/x86_64/packages/c/
cello-debuginfo-1.0-1.i686.rpm -> /home/me/my-repo/i686/debug/packages/c/
cello-debuginfo-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm -> /home/me/my-repo/x86_64/debug/packages/c/
cello-debugsource-1.0-1.i686.rpm -> /home/me/my-repo/i686/debug/packages/c/
cello-debugsource-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm -> /home/me/my-repo/x86_64/debug/packages/c/
cello-extra-1.0-1.noarch.rpm -> /home/me/my-repo/i686/packages/c/
cello-extra-1.0-1.noarch.rpm -> /home/me/my-repo/x86_64/packages/c/

The relationships between RPMs and SRPMs are stored in an sqlite database so that you can manage the files collectively, referencing them by the NVR (name-version-release) string. When RPMs are moved the repository metadata will be regenerated as needed.

$ uvalde list all
my-repo
  cello-1.0-1
my-other-repo

$ uvalde move my-repo my-other-repo cello-1.0-1
