Description
Hi all,
I'm using reposync to create a local copy of remote rpm repositories, fetching only the latest package release and excluding packages that conflict with other repositories, or including only a few packages I need from that source, i.e.:
- repository foo provides
nicepackage-1.2.3-1
with is compiled with--nifty-feature
but repository bar providesnicepackage-1:1.2.3-1
which was compiled without--nifty-feature
. Because of the epoch the version without--nifty-feature
would be installed. I don't want to fetch that rpm at all, so I excludenicepackage
from remote bar. - repository baz provides lots of packages, most of them are huge disk-space-wasting X-applications (e.g. gnome desktop, firefox browser, stuff you don't need on a headless server), but there are also some nice cli-tools I'd like to mirror locally. Including only
niceclitool
from that remote is the way to go.
Now I'd like to replace it with pulp. Unfortunately a remote cannot be filtered. So here's my feature request: Could you please implement filters in rpm remotes?
Thanks :)
