-=head1 NAME
-
-urpmi.recover - manages repackaging of old RPMs and rollbacks
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- urpmi.recover --checkpoint [--noclean]
- urpmi.recover --list '1 week ago'
- urpmi.recover --rollback '1 hour ago'
- urpmi.recover --disable [--noclean]
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-B<urpmi.recover> is a tool to help management of RPM rollbacks. 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.
