Description of problem: When using dnf reposync, if you have an 'includes' tag on the repo config to get only some of the packages, reposync will download all the packages and then filter them out using a lot of bandwidth and using a lot of space for big repos (like epel) when all that can be done once you have the metadata, and download only the needed rpms Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.1.20-1.fc23 How reproducible: You can use a yum config file like: [main] reposdir=/etc/reposync.repos.d retries=3 debuglevel=10 rpmverbosity=debug [epel-el7] name=EPEL repo baseurl=https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 includepkgs=python-ioproces Then run: dnf reposync --repoid epel-el7 -c test.repo --download-path=/tmp/reposync Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: You get all the packages downloaded, and then removed all but the ones in the 'include' tag. Expected results: Only the included rpms get downloaded Additional info:
> includepkgs=python-ioproces I think it should be include=python-ioproces..
Can you confirm whether tip from comment 1 helped?
Nop, same behavior, it first downloads everything, and then it removes all but the included one: $ dnf reposync --repoid epel-el7 -c test.repo --download-path=/tmp/reposync timer: config: 5 ms cachedir: /var/tmp/dnf-dcaro-AkaMbN Loaded plugins: copr, reposync, needs-restarting, generate_completion_cache, noroot, Query, debuginfo-install, system-upgrade, protected_packages, config-manager, download, playground, builddep DNF version: 1.1.8 Command: dnf reposync --repoid epel-el7 -c test.repo --download-path=/tmp/reposync Installroot: / Releasever: 23 Base command: reposync Extra commands: ['--repoid', 'epel-el7', '--download-path=/tmp/reposync'] repo: downloading from remote: epel-el7, _Handle: metalnk: None, mlist: None, urls ['https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/'].

IMO it should work in DNF 2.0 stack where `--repo` is DNF option.
Fixed as a part of https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/518
PR has been merged for DNF 2.0 and will be available at some point.
