       modifyrepo - Modify a repomd (xml-rpm-metadata) repository


SYNOPSIS

       modifyrepo [options] <input metadata> <output repodata>


DESCRIPTION

       modifyrepo is a program that allows you to insert arbitrary metadata
       into a repomd (xml-based rpm metadata) repository.


OPTIONS

       --mdtype <mdtype>
              Specify datatype of the metadata. If not specified, datatype
              will be derived from the filename.

       --remove
              Remove specified file from repodata.

       --compress
              Compress the new repodata before adding it to the repo. This is
              used by default.

       --no-compress
              Do not compress the new repodata before adding it to the repo.

       --compress-type <compress-type>
              Specify which compression type to use: compat (default), xz (may

       -s, --checksum <sumtype>
              Specify the checksum type to use.

       --unique-md-filenames
              Include the file's checksum in the metadata filename, helps with
              HTTP caching (default).

       --simple-md-filenames
              Do not include the file's checksum in the metadata filename.

              Output version.
