Hello, thank you for the report.
Please note that there is the "repository-packages" command (http://dnf.readthedocs.org/en/latest/command_ref.html#repository-packages-command) that might be interesting for you. It depends on your use cases. Sometimes the "repository-packages <repo> upgrade" command may be better (because you want the other repositories to be available to satisfy some dependencies) but on the other hand I can see that the "--repoid" switch might be better in another cases. And also the "repository-packages <repo> list" command is not as powerful as "repoquery". Anyway, this is just a nice to have shortcut so the priority is not too high.

(In reply to Radek Holy from comment #1)
Thanks for the tip. Was not aware about such command. However

1) It does not disable other repositories, which is quite important, especially for repoquery, since I want to be sure that I am querying the right and the only repository. Typically, on my F21, I am interested just in rawhide packages.

Also in some cases, it might save some time avoiding of metadata download.



2) It does not work with repoquery:

$ LANG=en_US sudo dnf repository-packages rawhide repoquery rubygem-listen
Error: Requires a repo ID and a valid sub-command
 Mini usage:

repository-packages REPO check-update|info|install|list|move-to|reinstall|reinstall-old|remove|remove-or-distro-sync|remove-or-reinstall|upgrade|upgrade-to [ARG...]

Run commands on top of all packages in given repository

aliases: repo-pkgs, repo-packages, repository-pkgs
Error: a repo ID and a valid sub-command required


Is it by design? Shouldn't the functionality be more universal and automatically picked up by plugins? Just asking ...




3) Does it work at all?

$ LANG=en_US sudo dnf repository-packages rawhide info kernel
Using metadata from Wed Feb 18 13:13:55 2015
Error: No matching Packages to list

1) Definitely. I agree with you. I reacted mostly to the last paragraph (see the citation).

2) Yes, "repo-pkgs" is a command, not a switch. It's not possible to combine builtin commands with plugin commands. Some cases may be covered by "dnf repo-pkgs <repo> list <spec>".

3) It does but you need to enable the repository. Unlike YUM, DNF does not enable the repository for you. Please run "sudo dnf --enablerepo=rawhide repository-packages rawhide info kernel". It is expected but I admit that it's inconvenient and debatable.

(In reply to Radek Holy from comment #3)
Actually, it makes sense after explanation although it could be recorded in the documentation ;) Thx for explanation and looking forward for --repoid param.

Hi, the `repoid` option  is implemented in repoquery (has been renamed to `repo`). If it donsn;t fit your expectations, feel free to reopen.

> has been renamed to `repo`

That is probably better name. Looking forward to shorten my cmdlines ;) Thanks.

IOW, it does not work.

Well, it did work until the --repofrompath option was introduced (dnf-1.0.2-1). This is a new bug.

ok :) ... btw the --repo parameter is not mentioned in the "usage" output, not sure if that is just side effect or some other issue.

Vit, `--repo` is param of repoquery, although it makes sense to be DNF global param. We could move it.

(In reply to Jan Silhan from comment #10)
Ah, did not noticed these are just the global parameters. Then I have two remarks:

1) Since enablerepo/disablerepo/repofrompath are global parameters, this would definitely make sense to make repo option global as well.

2) It would be nice to output the "command" options as well as global options.

Please let me know if I should report some of these two into separate ticket. Thx.

Now I learned about "repository-packages" command. It seems that the "--repo" parameter is doing more or less the same. Could you please explain the difference?

TBH, I am really horrified by the "repository-packages" since it seems it duplicates all the basic command in totally non-systematic way. It would be nice if you can deprecate it prior somebody starts to use it.

We have got a separate report of this problem. Let's track it there [1] and let's close this as it was.
