=head1 NAME

urpmi.addmedia - adds a new rpm medium to be used by urpmi

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    urpmi.addmedia [options] <name> <url> [with <hdlist>]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

urpmi.addmedia is used to add a new media to be used by urpmi, so it can
find new rpms at the specified location. Currently supported media types
are: local drives, removable drives (such as CDs), and networked media via
different protocols (http, ftp, ssh and rsync). One of the following modes
must be chosen:

=over

=item B<urpmi.addmedia> [I<options>] <I<name>> http://<I<login>>:<I<pass>>@<I<host>>/<I<path>> [with <I<relative path of synthesis|hdlist>>]

where <I<name>> is your reference for the medium (e.g. "updates").
<I<name>> is optional if B<--distrib> is given in the options list.
<I<host>>/<I<path>> is the location of the media directory on the net
(e.g. C<media/main>). <I<relative path of hdlist>> is the pathname where
to find the hdlist of the rpms. The location is given relative to
<I<path>>. B<curl> is used by default to download files, B<wget> may be
used if B<curl> is not installed or if or B<--wget> is given in
I<options>. Example:

    urpmi.addmedia http http://jpackage.sf.net/rpm/free with hdlist.cz ftp:

=item B<urpmi.addmedia> [I<options>] <I<name>> ftp://<I<login>>:<I<pass>>@<I<host>>/<I<path>> [with <I<relative path of synthesis|hdlist>>]

The same as for http. Add your login and password if required (note that
you don't need to specify B<anonymous> as login for anonymous access ftp
servers). If B<wget> is used to download files with a firewall you may
have to ensure that the B<passive_ftp> option is on in B</etc/wgetrc>
(that's usually the default). Example:

    urpmi.addmedia ftp ftp://a:a@leia//export/media/main with media_info/hdlist.cz

=item B<urpmi.addmedia> [I<options>] <I<name>> ssh://<I<login>>@<I<host>>/<I<path>> [with <I<relative path of synthesis|hdlist>>]

The same as for http and ftp; add your login and password if required. It
is strongly recommended to export the public key in order not to have to
type your password all the time. B<scp> and B<rsync> will be used to get
files. Example:

    urpmi.addmedia -h ssh ssh://fpons@bi/c/i586/media/main

=item B<urpmi.addmedia> [I<options>] <I<name>> rsync://<I<login>>@<I<host>>:<I<port>>/<I<path>> [with <I<relative path of synthesis|hdlist>>]

The same as for http; you can use the <I<host>>::<I<path>> syntax too. Example:

    urpmi.addmedia rsync rsync://ftp.orst.edu::mandrake-devel/contrib/ppc with ../../cooker/ppc/media/media_info/hdlist2.cz

=item B<urpmi.addmedia> [I<options>] <I<name>> file://<I<path>> [with <I<relative path of synthesis|hdlist>>]

where <I<name>> is your reference for the medium (e.g. Myrpms). <I<path>>
is the location of the media directory on your machine (e.g. C<media/main>).

=item B<urpmi.addmedia> [I<options>] <I<name>> removable://<I<path>> [with <I<relative path of synthesis|hdlist>>]

<I<path>> is the location of the media directory on your machine when the
removable device is mounted. This works for removable drives, but also for
ISO images mounted on a loop device. urpmi will then be able to re-mount
the ISO image to the specified path (but the ISO image must be mounted
when you run B<urpmi.addmedia>).

=back

=head1 OPTIONS

=over

=item B<--wget>

Use wget only for downloading distant files. By default curl is used if
available.

=item B<--curl>

Use curl only for downloading distant files. This is the default if curl
is available.

=item B<--limit-rate I<rate>>

Try to limit the download speed, I<rate> is given in bytes/sec. This option
is not active by default.

=item B<--proxy> I<proxyhost[:port|1080]>

Use specified HTTP proxy.

=item B<--proxy-user> I<user:password>

Use specified user and password to use for proxy authentication.
Specifying B<--proxy-user=ask> will cause urpmi.addmedia to prompt for a
username and a password.

=item B<--update>

Add a medium which will be taken into
account by B<MandrivaUpdate> or by B<urpmi --update> when looking for updates.

=item B<--probe-synthesis>

Try to find and use synthesis file if B<with ...> is not given.

=item B<--probe-hdlist>

Try to find and use hdlist file if B<with ...> is not given.

=item B<--no-probe>

Do not try to find any synthesis or hdlist file.

=item B<--distrib>

Retrieve a set of media from a distribution. Typically, the URL provided
to B<urpmi.addmedia> will represent the parent directory of a directory
B<media>, which in turn will contain various subdirectories for each
medium of the distribution. <I<name>> is combined with medium names found
to create newer medium names in the urpmi database. The B<with ...>
option, if provided, is ignored, as hdlists found on the installation
medium are used instead automatically.

=item B<--from> I<url>

Use specified URL for list of mirrors. The default is taken from the file
F</etc/urpmi/mirror.config>, or
F<http://www.mandrivalinux.com/mirrorsfull.list> if this file doesn't
exist.

=item B<--version> I<version>

Use specified distribution version. The default is taken from the version
of the distribution told by the installed mandriva-release package.

=item B<--virtual>

Creates a virtual medium. This only works for C<file://> and
C<removable://> protocols, and no files will be created in
F</var/lib/urpmi>. The medium is always up-to-date and so it does not need
to be updated by B<urpmi.update>.

=item B<--norebuild>

Don't try to rebuild the hdlist files from the RPMs
if the original hdlist wasn't readable or was corrupted.

=item B<--raw>

Add the new media
in the urpmi configuration file, but don't update it nor proceed to any
download. The media, to be usable, will need to be updated with B<urpmi.update>.

=item B<--nopubkey>

Don't import pubkey of added media.

=item B<-c>

Clean headers cache directory in F</var/cache/urpmi/headers>.

=item B<-h>

Try to find and use synthesis or hdlist file.

=item B<-f>

Force rebuild of base files, or of hdlist files when specified twice.

=back

=head1 Variables

Beginning with urpmi 4.6.16, you can use variables in media URLs (for
example F</mnt/mirror/$RELEASE/$ARCH/media/main>). The variables supported
so far are:

=over

=item B<$ARCH>

The architecture (as given in F</etc/mandriva-release>)

=item B<$RELEASE>

The OS release (as given in F</etc/mandriva-release>; its value is
B<cooker> on a cooker system.)

=item B<$HOST>

The canonical hostname of the machine urpmi runs on.
