This manual page documents them. + +=head1 FILES + +=over + +=item I</var/lib/urpmi/list.<media_name>> + +Contains the list of all packages known by urpmi and their location. This +file is used when a password is used to access a distant location (using +a network protocol) or when various directories are used to store the +packages. That's why it's not world-readable. + +=item I</var/lib/urpmi/hdlist.<media_name>.cz> + +Contains information about all known packages; it's a summary of rpm +headers. If an hdlist file is used for a medium, B<urpmf> can operate +completely without accessing this medium (this is almost always the case). + +=item I</var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.<media_name>.cz> + +Contains synthesis information about all known packages built from hdlist +files that can be used by minimal closure algorithm. If these files are +not present, hdlist files will be used instead to resolve dependencies +(but this is much slower). + +=item I</etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg> + +Contains media descriptions. +See urpmi.cfg(5). + +=item I</etc/urpmi/proxy.cfg> + +Contains proxy descriptions for http and ftp media. See proxy.cfg(5). + +=item I</etc/urpmi/parallel.cfg> + +Contains the descriptions of parallel aliases, one per line. Their general +format is B<< <alias>:<interface[(media)]>:<interface_parameter> >> where +B<< <alias> >> is a symbolic name to identify the parallel alias, B<< +<interface> >> is one of the parallel install methods (can be B<ka-run> or +B<ssh>), B<< <media> >> is a media list (as given to the B<--media> +parameter), and finally B<< <interface_parameter> >> is a specific interface +parameter list like C<-c ssh -m node1 -m node2> for B<ka-run> extension or +C<node1:node2> (list of node hostnames) for B<ssh> extension. + +=item I</etc/urpmi/skip.list> + +The list of packages that should not be automatically +updated when using --auto-select. It contains one package expression per line; +either a package name, or a regular expression (if enclosed in slashes +B</>) to match the name of packages against. (Actually, it's matched against +the full name of the package, which has the form B<name-version-release.arch>.) + +=item I</etc/urpmi/inst.list> + +The list of packages that should be installed instead of updated. It has +the same format as the skip.list. + +=item I</etc/urpmi/mirror.config> + +This file is optional. If present, it should contain a single line: +B<url=http://....> which is the URL of a document that lists the available +mirrors. The default is to use +B<http://www.mandrivalinux.com/mirrorsfull.list>. + +=item I</var/log/urpmi.log> + +The urpmi log file. + +=back + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +urpmi.cfg(5), proxy.cfg(5). |
