Implement additional repoquery options

[kontura]

The dnf4 repoquery command has a lot of options.

There are two categories:

Select Options

Together with the <package-file-spec> argument, control what packages are displayed in the output.

• <package-file-spec>

• -a, --all

• • Proposing to drop it (document as a change). It is a default dnf behavior and it was added as compatibility option with yum

• --arch / --archlist

• • Please change other command that uses the same o similar options (even option can be the same, but schematic of arguments can be different) in DNF and unify it

• --duplicates

• Implement repoquery --unneeded option #454

• --available

• --disable-modular-filtering

• --extras

• -f <file>, --file <file>

• --installed

• --installonly

• --latest-limit <number>

• --recent

• • Priority low

• --repo <repoid>

• • It is a general option. Investigate why it is explicitly mentioned in repoquery
• • [amatej] The best I can tell the option got imported together with repoquery command into dnf. Perhaps before when repoquery was separate the option was needed.

• --upgrades

• --userinstalled

• --whatdepends <capability>[,<capability>...]

• --whatconflicts <capability>[,<capability>...]

• --whatenhances <capability>[,<capability>...]

• --whatobsoletes <capability>[,<capability>...]

• --whatprovides <capability>[,<capability>...]

• --whatrecommends <capability>[,<capability>...]

• --whatrequires <capability>[,<capability>...]

• --whatsuggests <capability>[,<capability>...]

• --whatsupplements <capability>[,<capability>...]

• --alldeps

• • It is a default behavior of DNF therefore I propose to remove it (document the change). The reason of presence of the option -> the default was changed in history

• --exactdeps

• --srpm

• • Please verify that other commands use --srpm, or --source using the same principle

Formatting Options

Set what information is displayed about each package.

• -i, --info #479
• -l, --list
• • Proposing to rename to more appropriate --files
• -s, --source
• • Please verify that other commands use --srpm, or --source using the same principle
• --changelogs
• --conflicts
• --depends
• --enhances
• --location
• --obsoletes
• --provides
• --recommends
• --requires
• --requires-pre
• --suggests
• --supplements
• --nvr
• • Proposing to drop it (document as a change) (yum compatibility)
• --nevra
• • Proposing to drop it (document as a change) (yum compatibility) - default behavior
• --envra
• • Proposing to drop it (document as a change) (yum compatibility) - DNF is unable to parse such a spec
• --qf , --queryformat <format>
• • Priority medium (required by fedora-review)

Additional options:

• --querytags
• --groupmember <package-spec> -> move to group command --contains-pkgs <pkg> option?
• • moving to group command is a good suggestion. Please document it to DNF to DNF5 changes

Additional tasks:

• Add option conflicts (if/where needed)
• Enable autocomplete
• Add man pages/documentation
• Enable CI tests

Options tracked in separate issues:

• repoquery --unsatisfied #910
• repoquery --recursive #911
• repoquery --resolve #912
• repoquery --tree #913
• • Priority low
• • [amatej] Perhaps this would be better suited as a plugin?
• repoquery --deplist #914
• • [amatej] Perhaps this would be better suited as a plugin?

While --qf / --queryformat is marked as implemented, it does not work as expected (namely in RHEL, dnf5-5.0.9-1.git.966.354f7b6.el9). --queryformat provides nothing while --qf is reported to be an unknown option. Comparison with dnf4 results on the same machine is provided:

# dnf5 repoquery --queryformat='%{name}-%{version}' bash
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
# dnf5 repoquery --qf='%{name}-%{version}' bash
Unknown argument "--qf=%{name}-%{version}" for command "repoquery". Add "--help" for more information about the arguments.
# dnf repoquery --queryformat='%{name}-%{version}' bash

The alias for --qf is missing but the output should work.
Maybe the output is just overlooked, there was a change where dnf5 no longer automatically adds a new line at the end.
Can you try:

dnf5 repoquery --queryformat='%{name}-%{version}\n' bash

[glum23]

@kontura, it's really strange, below is output from terminal (with intentionally deleted some of non-related parts). For the first time 'dnf5 repoquery' is called there's apparently no output related to queryformat, however, there is missing also 'Repositories loaded.' phrase. Every other call shows the requested output (either with \n or without it). Maybe there's some issue related to repos and the first call just fails to provide the whole output, so it's unrelated to repoquery subcommand itself.

@glum23 can I please ask you to file a separate bug about that?

[glum23]

The bug can be reproduced only in rhel9, postponed until the next build of dnf5 for rhel9.

fedora-review is breaking in Rawhide because dnf repoquery -C isn't implemented.

[kontura]

fedora-review is breaking in Rawhide because dnf repoquery -C isn't implemented.

It is a general dnf option, tracked here: #191

[jan-kolarik]

fedora-review is breaking in Rawhide because dnf repoquery -C isn't implemented.

I've added this request to the tracking issue here: #635.

[FrostyX]

fedora-review is breaking in Rawhide because dnf repoquery -C isn't implemented.

It is failing because of the missing --resolve parameter as well.

[j-mracek]

I excluded remaining options into separate issue to allow testing of implemented features
