=head1 NAME

rurpmi - restricted urpmi

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    rurpmi [options] [package_name...]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

rurpmi is similar to urpmi, but has a stripped-down set of features. It's
intended to be used by users without root privileges but with sudo rights
on it, preventing any abuse of this tool to compromise the system.

With rurpmi, you can't install arbitrary rpm files; moreoever the
B<--keep> and B<--verify-rpm> options are forced, and
several dangerous options are forbidden (B<--root>, B<--use-distrib>,
B<--env>, B<--allow-nodeps>, B<--allow-force>, B<--force>, B<--noscripts>,
B<--auto-update>). Also, you won't be able to install rpms with bad
signatures.

=head1 CAVEAT

This software is still experimental. While some operations are forbidden,
there is no guarantee it is actually secure.

=head1 OPTIONS

The options are the same than urpmi ones.
