modularity-relevant CLI examples
The current state of CentOS 8 createrepo_c + modulemd-tools (EPEL8) allow us to:
This could identify dnf modules that would need to be re-created when shipping modular RPMs independently from their base repos:
| Code Block |
|---|
|
find "$DIR_WITH_RPMS" -name \*.rpm \
-exec rpm -qp {} --qf '%{NVRA} %{ModularityLabel}\n' \; \
| grep -v '(none)' \
| tee modular_rpms.txt |
The %{ModularityLabel} macro is returned in (module)name:stream:version:context:arch (NSVCA) format, so the result looks like this:

It should be possible to re-create specific modules streams based on the RPM’s unique headers. However, there are significant limitations:

This comes back with some results in module:stream:version:context:arch format, |
Identify all unique modules/streames from a collection of RPM files
| Code Block |
|---|
find "$DIR_WITH_RPMS" -name \*.rpm \
-exec rpm -qp {} --qf '%{ModularityLabel}\n' \; \
| grep -v '^(none)' | sort | uniq -c \
| sort -nk1,1 \
| tee unique_rpm_module_streams.txt |
Mirror the contents of a DNF repository, preserving all modules and package groups.
(Works from CentOS 8.3 and CentOS 7.8, requires packages dnf and dnf-plugin-core )
An example of this mirroring a mounted CentOS 8.3 ISO’s AppStream repository:
| Code Block |
|---|
|
PATH_TO_LOCAL_MIRROR=/path/to/Appstream
PATH_TO_SOURCE_REPO=/mnt/AppStream
dnf reposync \
--download-metadata --downloadcomps \
--download-path "$PATH_TO_LOCAL_MIRROR" \
--repofrompath iso,"$PATH_TO_SOURCE_REPO" \
--repoid iso
# Useful EL8-only options: --remote-time --norepopath |
This should probably be the only kind of mirroring that on-site scripts like unpack_dvd use
DNF repoclosure
| Code Block |
|---|
dnf repoclosure --repofrompath iso,"$PWD" --repo appstream --repo baseos |
