=head1 NAME
urpmi.addmedia - adds a new rpm media 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 a human-readable name for the new media (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. You
may want to export the public key in order not to have to type your
password. rsync over an ssh connection will be used to get files. urpmi
will try to re-use the same ssh connection over multiple invocations.
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 a human-readable name for the new media (e.g.
"local updates"). <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 C<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<--curl-options> I<'options'>
=item B<--rsync-options> I<'options'>
=item B<--wget-options> I<'options'>
Specify additional command-line options to be passed to curl, rsync or
wget when retrieving files. If several options are to be passed, separate
them with spaces and enclose them in quotes.
Note that the rsync options will also be used for ssh media.
=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 C<urpmi.addmedia> to prompt for a
username and a password.
=item B<--update>
Adds a media which will be taken into account by B<MandrivaUpdate> or by
C<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.
So, if you use a network media (http, ftp, etc.), specifying the location
of a synthesis or hdlist with B<with...> is mandatory.
On the other hand, if you use a local media C<urpmi.addmedia> will extract
all RPM headers and construct an hdlist by itself.
=item B<--distrib>
Retrieve a set of media from a distribution. Typically, the URL provided
to C<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, is not necessary, 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<--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 C<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 (which is the default behaviour). For non
local media, rebuilding the hdlists can be very time- and
bandwidth-consuming.
=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 C<urpmi.update>; it's ignored until then.
=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<-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<$ARCH>
The architecture (if found in F</etc/release>).
=item B<$RELEASE>
The OS release (if found in F</etc/release>; its value should be B<cooker>
on a Mandriva cooker system.)
=item B<$HOST>
The canonical hostname of the machine urpmi runs on.
