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>).
