-.TH urpmi 8 "05 Jul 2001" "MandrakeSoft" "Mandrake Linux"
-.IX urpmi
-.SH NAME
-urpmi \- rpm wrapper making installs easier for the user
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B urpmi [\fIoptions\fP] [\fIpackage_names\fP | \fIrpm_files...\fP]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-urpmi enables non-superuser install of rpms. In fact, it only authorizes
-well-known rpms to be installed. If you want to install local rpm file, you
-will have to be root.
-
-You can compare rpm vs. urpmi with insmod vs. modprobe or dpkg vs apt-get
-.PP
-All users belonging to group urpmi are allowed to install packages.
-.br
-Just launch urpmi followed by what you think is the name of the package(s),
-and urpmi will:
-.br
-\- Propose different package names if availables and quit.
-.br
-\- If only one corresponding package is found, check whether dependencies are
-already installed, or not.
-.br
-\- If not, propose to install the dependencies and then install all required
-dependencies and the package.
-.PP
-Note that urpmi handle installations from various medias (ftp, http, local and
-nfs volumes, removable medias such as CDROMs) and is able to install
-dependencies from a media different from the package's media.
-If necessary, urpmi asks you to insert the required media.
-.PP
-To add a new media containing rpms run urpmi.addmedia.
-.br
-To remove a media use urpmi.removemedia.
-.br
-To update the packages list (for example when the ftp archive changed) use
-urpmi.update.
-.br
-To automatically install a package corresponding to an executable you tried
-to launch, use autoirpm.
-.br
-To install all available menu entries of all known packages,
-use autoirpm-icons.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.IP "\fB\--help\fP"
-print an help message and exit.
-.IP "\fB\--update\fP"
-use only update media. This means \fBurpmi\fP will search and resolve
-dependencies only in media marked as update.
-.IP "\fB\--auto\fP"
-installs all required dependencies without asking.
-.IP "\fB\--auto-select\fP"
-automatically select all packages that have to be upgraded according to already
-installed packages and packages listed in various media registered.
-.IP "\fB\--force\fP"
-assumes yes on all questions.
-.IP "\fB\--X\fP"
-use X interface.
-.IP "\fB\--best-output\fP"
-try to use X interface or if not available the standard text interface (using
-rpm).
-.IP "\fB\-a\fP"
-if multiple packages match the substring given, take them all
-.IP "\fB\-m\fP"
-choose minimun closure of requires (this is the default). This is a relatively
-slow algorithm that tries to minimize the number of package to upgrade
-to only what is really necessary.
-.IP "\fB\-M\fP"
-choose maximal closure of requires. This is the fastest algorithms that try to
-upgrade all requires if they can be upgraded.
-.IP "\fB\-c\fP"
-if maximal closure is used, assume that a package listed mey have wrong or not
-up-to-date dependancies. This cause more package to be upgraded and may correct
-unresolved dependancies on the rpm database.
-.IP "\fB\-p\fP"
-allow search in provides to find package.
-.IP "\fB\-q\fP"
-proposes a quiet mode when calling rpm where no upgrade status are printed.
-.IP "\fB\-v\fP"
-proposes a verbose mode with various messages.
