# rpm2paco(8)

create paco logs from a local RPM database

## NAME

rpm2paco - create paco logs from a local RPM database

## SYNOPSIS

**rpm2paco** \[OPTIONS\] \<packages\>

## DESCRIPTION

**rpm2paco** is a shell script that create **[paco(8)](/paco/8.md)** logs from **[rpm(8)](/rpm/8.md)** ones. The newly created logs are placed into the paco log directory automatically.

Is not mandatory to add the version suffix to the input packages, since rpm adds it automatically.

## OPTIONS

- **-a, --all**

  Read the whole rpm database of the system, and create a paco log for each logged package. Warning: for more than a few packages, this may take a long time.

- **-q, --quiet**

  Be quiet, except for errors.

- **-f, --force**

  Force overwrite of any already logged package. By default they are skipped.

- **-j, --sync-version**

  Remove obsolete versions of the packages from the paco database. For instance, if foo-1.0 is beeing imported, and foo-2.4 is logged by paco but not by rpm, remove foo-2.4 from the paco database.

- **-s, --strip-release**

  Remove the release suffix from the name of the package (e.g. 'foo-1.0.2-2.1' --\> 'foo-1.0.2').

- **-h, --help**

  Print a usage message and exit.

- **-v, --version**

  Print version information and exit.
