fedora-repoquery
A dnf wrapper to repoquery different Fedora releases, caching repodata separately per release. It also supports EPEL, Centos Stream and ELN repos.
Usage
Usage examples:
$ fedora-repoquery rawhide firefox
firefox-143.0.1-1.fc44.x86_64 (fedora-rawhide)
$ fedora-repoquery 43 --requires filesystem
group(mail)
setup
$ fedora-repoquery epel10 ghc
ghc-9.6.6-146.el10_0.x86_64 (epel10)
$ fedora-repoquery c10 bash
bash-5.2.26-6.el10.x86_64 (c10s-BaseOS)
$ fedora-repoquery eln kernel
kernel-6.17.0-0.rc6.250919g097a6c336d008.53.eln151.x86_64 (eln-BaseOS)
Without a release argument, the system yum repo configuration is used:
$ fedora-repoquery pandoc-cli
pandoc-cli-3.6.4-38.fc44.x86_64 (rawhide)
$ fedora-repoquery --whatrequires pandoc
R-reprex-2.1.1-2.fc43.noarch (rawhide)
R-rmarkdown-2.24-9.fc43.noarch (rawhide)
pandoc-pdf-3.6.4-38.fc44.x86_64 (rawhide)
python3-pypandoc-1.15-8.fc44.noarch (rawhide)
Use the –time (-T) option to display repo timestamps:
$ fedora-repoquery -T 43 fedrq
2025-05-07 15:57:29 +08 <https://mirror.freedif.org/fedora/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/>
fedrq-1.5.0-1.fc43.noarch (fedora-rawhide)
Repo timestamp(s) are output when there are no query args after the release version:
$ fedora-repoquery 42
2025-04-15 01:43:43 +08 <https://mirror.freedif.org/fedora/fedora/linux/releases/42/>
2025-09-23 09:11:46 +08 <https://mirror.freedif.org/fedora/fedora/linux/updates/42/>
One can also query multiple releases (or arch’s):
$ fedora-repoquery 42 43 python3 | grep x86_64
python3-3.13.2-2.fc42.x86_64 (f42)
python3-3.13.7-1.fc42.x86_64 (f42-updates)
python3-3.14.0~rc2-1.fc43.x86_64 (f43-development)
python3-3.14.0~rc3-1.fc43.x86_64 (f43-updates-testing)
