.TH urpmq 8 "29 Aug 2002" "MandrakeSoft" "Mandrake Linux" .IX urpmq .SH NAME urpmq \- urpmi database query tool. .SH SYNOPSIS .B urpmq [\fIoptions\fP] [\fIpackage_names\fP | \fIrpm_files...\fP] .SH DESCRIPTION urpmq allows querying the urpmi database. It is for you if want to list available packages in the various media of urpmi, or list dependancies of packages or packages that will be installed if you start urpmi. .PP Output format of urpmq is the following according to command line options: .IP [group/]package_name[-version][-release][.arch] .SH OPTIONS .IP "\fB\--help\fP" print an help message and exit (this is the same as \fB-h\fP or \fB-?\fP). .IP "\fB\--update\fP" use only update media. This means \fBurpmq\fP will search and resolve dependencies only in media marked as update. .IP "\fB\--media\fP" select specific media to use instead of all media available (or update media is \fB--update\fP is used). .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\--fuzzy\fP" disable fast search on exact package name, ie it will propose all package containing the name even if one has the given name (this is the same as \fB\-y\fP). .IP "\fB\--src\fP" next package name is a source package and it will select all dependencies if \fBurpmi\fP is run as root or only install source package as simple user (this is the same as \fB\-s\fP). .IP "\fB\--headers\fP" extract headers for package selected to standard output. .IP "\fB\--sources\fP" print source url (or file) of all packages selected. .IP "\fB\--force\fP" ignore error of inexistant packages requested. .IP "\fB\--allow-nodeps\fP" allow urpmi to ask user to continue installation using no dependencies checking due to error. By default urpmi exit immediately in such case. .IP "\fB\--allow-force\fP" allow urpmi to ask user to continue installation using no dependencies checking or forced installation due to error. By default urpmi exit immediately in such case. .IP "\fB\--parallel\fP" activate distributed execution of urpmi to other machines (it is mandatory that urpmi is installed but it is not necessary to have media defined on any machines). The parameter given after \fB--parallel\fP is an alias name defining which extension module to use by urpmi (currently \fBurpmi-parallel-ka-run\fP or \fBurpmi-parallel-ssh\fP) and which machines should be updated, this alias is defined in the file /etc/urpmi/parallel.cfg as described below. .IP "\fB\-v\fP" activate verbose mode. .IP "\fB\-d\fP" select dependancies (maximal closure). .IP "\fB\-u\fP" deselect packages if a better version is already installed, this option can be used with \fB-d\fP to simulate \fB-M\fP mode of \fBurpmi\fP. .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\-P\fP" do not search in provides to find package (this is the opposite of \fB-p\fP and is the default). .IP "\fB\-y\fP" this is the same as \fB--fuzzy\fP. .IP "\fB\-s\fP" this is the same as \fB--src\fP. .IP "\fB\-g\fP" print group of each packages listed. .IP "\fB\-r\fP" print version and release of each packages listed. .IP "\fB\-f\fP" print version, release and arch of each packages listed. .SH FILES /usr/bin/urpmq .br The \fBurpmq\fP executable (perl script) .PP /var/lib/urpmi/list.* .br Contains the list of all packages known by urpmi and their location. There is one filelist per media(*). .PP /var/lib/urpmi/hdlist.* .br Contain information about all known packages, it's a summary of rpm headers. There is one filelist per media(*). .PP /var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.* .br Contain synthesis information about all known packages built from hdlist files that can be used by minimal closure algorithm. If these files are not present use \fBurpmi.update -a\fP to generate them. These files are not mandatory. .PP /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg .br Contains media description, previous format from older urpmi is accepted. .PP /etc/urpmi/parallel.cfg .br Contains parallel alias description, format is \fB::\fP where \fB\fP is a symbolic name, \fB\fP can be \fBka-run\fP or \fBssh\fP, \fB\fP is a media list (as \fB--media\fP parameter), \fB\fP is a specific interface parameter list like "-c ssh -m node1 -m node2" for \fBka-run\fP extension or "node1:node2" for \fBssh\fP extension. .PP /etc/urpmi/skip.list .br Contains package expressions that should not be automatically updated. The format is a list of provide of package (or regular expression if bounded by slashes (\fB/\fP)) with optional operator and version string, or regular expression to match the fullname of packages too. .PP /etc/urpmi/inst.list .br Contains package names that should be installed instead of updated. .SH "SEE ALSO" urpmi(8), urpmi.addmedia(8), urpmi.update(8), urpmi.removemedia(8), autoirpm(8), gurpmi(8), urpmf(8), rpmdrake(8) .SH AUTHOR Francois Pons, Mandrakesoft .br fpons@mandrakesoft.com
