# sqliterepo\_c(8)

Generate sqlite db files for a repository in rpm-md format

## NAME

sqliterepo\_c - Generate sqlite db files for a repository in rpm-md format

## SYNOPSIS

sqliterepo\_c \[options\] \<repo\_directory\>

## OPTIONS

### -V --version

Show program's version number and exit.

### -q --quiet

Run quietly.

### -v --verbose

Run verbosely.

### -f --force

Overwrite existing DBs.

### --keep-old

Do not remove old DBs. Use only with combination with --force.

### --xz

Use xz for repodata compression.

### --compress-type \<compress\_type\>

Which compression type to use.

### --checksum \<checksum\_type\>

Which checksum type to use in repomd.xml for sqlite DBs.

### --local-sqlite

Gen sqlite DBs locally (into a directory for temporary files). Sometimes, sqlite has a trouble to gen DBs on a NFS mount, use this option in such cases. This option could lead to a higher memory consumption if TMPDIR is set to /tmp or not set at all, because then the /tmp is used and /tmp dir is often a ramdisk.
