It has -three main functions: - -C<urpmi.recover --checkpoint> is used to define a point in your system -that you consider stable, and to start storing info that will enable you -to rollback installations and upgrades to this state. - -C<urpmi.recover --list> is used to list chronologically all installations -and upgrades on your system. (It has two variants, C<--list-all> and -C<--list-safe>.) - -C<urpmi.recover --rollback> is used to roll back installations and -upgrades to a previous point in the past (at most until your checkpoint.) - -=head1 OPTIONS - -=over 4 - -=item --checkpoint - -Define the repackaging checkpoint. From now on, using rpm and/or -urpmi/urpme to install, upgrade or remove packages, the older packages -will be stored in F</var/spool/repackage>, or whatever directory you set -the C<%_repackage_dir> rpm macro to. This way one can use them for -rollbacks. - -Technically, using this option writes a file -F</etc/rpm/macros.d/urpmi.recover.macros> that overrides the rpm macros -used to set up the repackaging functionalities of rpm. You can change -C<%_repackage_dir> there if you want to. Note that you'll probably need -plenty of space to store repackaged rpms for a long timeframe. - -You can also choose to turn off repackaging by setting -C<%_repackage_all_erasures> to 0 in this file. (Of course if you do so -rollbacks won't be possible anymore.) - -=item --noclean - -C<--checkpoint> defines a new checkpoint and removes everything in the -repackage directory. To prevent this cleaning, use the C<--noclean> -option. - -=item --list <date> - -Lists all installations and upgrades from now since the provided date, -grouped by installation transactions. The date parser is quite elaborated, -so you can give a date in ISO format or close to it (C<YYYY-MM-DD -hh:mm:ss>) or a duration (e.g. "1 day ago"). - -=item --list-all - -Lists all installations and upgrades known to the RPM database. - -=item --list-safe - -Lists all installations and upgrades up to the date of the checkpoint. - -=item --rollback <date> - -=item --rollback <number of transactions> - -Roll back the system to the given date (see C<--list> for accepted date -formats), or rolls back the given number of transactions. - -=item B<--urpmi-root> I<directory> - -Use the file system tree rooted for urpmi database and rpm install. Contrary -to B<--root>, the urpmi configuration comes from the rooted tree. - -=item --disable - -Turn off repackaging. Unless C<--noclean> was also specified, this cleans -up the repackage directory as well. To turn it on again, use -C<--checkpoint>. - -=back - -=head1 BUGS - -When enabled, you can't install and repackage delta rpms (rpms generated -with the C<makedeltarpm> tool.) Also, if you install a delta rpm, you -won't be able to rollback past this point. A sound advice would be to -completely avoid delta rpms if you're planning to use urpmi.recover. - -=head1 FILES - - /etc/rpm/macros.d/urpmi.recover.macros - -=head1 AUTHOR - -Rafael Garcia-Suarez, - -Copyright (C) 2006 Mandriva SA - -=head1 SEE ALSO - -urpmi(8), urpme(8) |
