libdnf5-local - Man Page

After each libdnf5 transaction copy all downloaded packages to local repositories on the filesystem and generate repository metadata.

The plugin creates two repositories:

• _dnf_local for packages from repositories with pkg_gpgcheck enabled. The pkg_gpgcheck setting is inherited from the main configuration. The repository doesn't specify any gpgkey, it assumes all required keys were already imported.
• _dnf_local_nogpgcheck for packages from repositories with pkg_gpgcheck disabled. This repository has pkg_gpgcheck set to false.

Each repository is only created when there are cached packages in it.

Both repositories are configured with the following options:

skip_if_unavailable = true
metadata_expire = 0

The _dnf_local repository has cost = 500 and the _dnf_local_nogpgcheck repository has cost = 501, so the gpgcheck-enabled repository is preferred when both contain the same package.

To generate the metadata createrepo_c is required.

The plugin configuration is in /etc/dnf/libdnf5-plugins/local.conf. The minimal content of the conf file should contain main and createrepo sections.

The main section requires:

name

string <#string-label>

The plugin's name is local

enabled

Whether or where the plugin is enabled: true, false, host-only, installroot-only.

• For host-only the plugin will run only on transactions in the default installroot /.
• For installroot-only the plugin will run only on transactions in installroots different from /.

It can also contain:

repodir

string <#string-label>

Path where the local repository is located. By default it is in persistdir <#persistdir-options-label> in plugins/local subdirectory.

repodir_nogpgcheck

string <#string-label>

Path where the local repository for packages from repos with pkg_gpgcheck disabled is located. By default it is in persistdir <#persistdir-options-label> in plugins/local-nogpgcheck subdirectory.

The createrepo section requires:

enabled

boolean <#boolean-label>

Whether running createrepo to generate repodata is enabled: true or false.

Additionally it can contain:

cachedir

string <#string-label>

If you want to speed up createrepo with the --cachedir option. Not used by default.

quiet

boolean <#boolean-label>

Whether to run createrepo with --quiet option. On by default.

verbose

boolean <#boolean-label>

Whether to run createrepo with --verbose option. Off by default.
