If think you looking for the $ dnf check-update Also you can pull lots of interesting information with the $ dnf repolist $ dnf repoquery I use repoquery a lot like this to list the contents of one repo: For example: $ dnf repoquery --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=fedora-cisco-openh264 Last metadata expiration check: 0:05:18 ago on Sat 02 Jul 2022 19:28:07 BST. gstreamer1-plugin-openh264-0:1.20.0-1.fc36.x86_64 mozilla-openh264-0:2.2.0-1.fc36.x86_64 openh264-0:2.2.0-1.fc36.x86_64 openh264-devel-0:2.2.0-1.fc36.x86_64 You can also add the options to set exclude options and see what they would do. $ dnf repoquery --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=fedora-cisco-openh264 --setopt=excludepkgs=openh264-devel Last metadata expiration check: 0:08:29 ago on Sat 02 Jul 2022 19:28:07 BST. gstreamer1-plugin-openh264-0:1.20.0-1.fc36.x86_64 mozilla-openh264-0:2.2.0-1.fc36.x86_64 openh264-0:2.2.0-1.fc36.x86_64 Barry > > -- > > uname -rsvp > Linux 3.10.0-1160.66.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 18 16:02:34 UTC 2022 x86_64 > > Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted. > I will only get to see the messages that are posted to the mailing list. > > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > Fedora Code of Conduct: > https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org > Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: > https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
