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-148.0-1.fc45.x86_64 (fedora-rawhide)

(note it is shorter to write fedora-repoquery 45).

$ 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-7.0.0-0.rc3.260312g80234b5ab240.32.eln155.x86_64 (eln-BaseOS)

Without a release argument, the system yum repo configuration is used:

$ fedora-repoquery pandoc-cli

pandoc-cli-3.7.0.2-40.fc44.x86_64 (rawhide)

$ fedora-repoquery --whatrequires pandoc

pandoc-pdf-3.7.0.2-40.fc44.x86_64 (rawhide)
python3-pypandoc-1.16.2-1.fc44.noarch (rawhide)

Use the –time (-T) option to display repo timestamps:

$ fedora-repoquery -T 43 fedrq
2025-10-26 01:59:02 +08 <https://mirror.freedif.org/fedora/fedora/linux/releases/43/>
2026-03-12 09:53:14 +08 <https://mirror.freedif.org/fedora/fedora/linux/updates/43/>

fedrq-1.5.0-5.fc43.noarch (f43)

Repo timestamp(s) are output when there are no query args after the release version:

$ fedora-repoquery 44

2026-03-13 19:08:04 +08 <https://mirror.freedif.org/fedora/fedora/linux/development/44/>
2026-03-13 09:38:02 +08 <https://mirror.freedif.org/fedora/fedora/linux/updates/testing/44/>

One can also query multiple releases (or arch’s):

$ fedora-repoquery 43 44 python3.x86_64

python3-3.14.0-1.fc43.x86_64 (f43)
python3-3.14.3-1.fc43.x86_64 (f43-updates)
python3-3.14.3-1.fc44.x86_64 (f44-development)

There is an option to use the CloudFront cache:

$ fedora-repoquery --cf 44 rust

rust-1.93.1-1.fc44.x86_64 (f44-development-cf)
rust-1.94.0-1.fc44.x86_64 (f44-updates-testing-cf)

which may be faster than dl.fp.o and fresher than other mirrors sometimes.
