RepoCompare

Code to compare Rocky Linux repositories against RHEL 8 ones and produce status information

So far, a simple script that you can call to compare like-for-like RHEL 8 vs. Rocky 8 Repos.

Example call: ./repo_compare_html.sh RHEL8_BaseOS Rocky8_BaseOS

WARNING: only compares default modules right now! Non-default module comparisons coming soon(tm)

WARNING: The order of the arguments VERY MUCH MATTERS! For Rocky 8 comparisons, RHEL repos should ALWAYS come first, they are the source to compare against!

ModuleCompare

This is a similar script to the above RepoCompare, but will analyze all the module versions against each other from one distro to the next.

It's called like the above script, except with a comma separated list of repositories that include modules.

For example, a typical usage looks like this: ./module_compare_html.sh RHEL8_AppStream,RHEL8_CodeReady Rocky8_AppStream,Rocky8_PowerTools

The example compares all modules found in RHEL AppStream and CodeReady against their Rocky equivalents.

Note that only the packages contained in a module are compared. No other metadata (module version strings, etc.) is considered, as it is likely unique and not meant to be copied.

WARNING: As with the above script, the order of the arguments absolutely matters. Generally RHEL repos should be listed first, as the source to compare against.

Support Scripts

A couple support scripts are also in the repository:

mkrepofile.sh : Create repo files for Rocky and duplicate ones with friendly names for the RHEL repos

repo_compare_launcher.sh : Run all combinations of repocompare RHEL8 <---> Rocky8. Compares production, staging, source, modules, RHEL Beta, etc.
