The\noriginal release of `yum`, the \"Yellowdog Updater Modified\", was in 2002,\nand was present in Fedora Core 1, released in 2003.\n\nThere have been previous attempts to document the repository format, most\nnotably in openSUSE.\nhttps://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Standards_Rpm_Metadata\n\nThere exist repositories using a SQLite variant of the repository format,\nwith some repositories *exclusively* using it, having only the `repomd.xml`\ntop level file in XML. The SQLite variant is understood by `yum`, but did\nnot make the leap to `dnf` at all.\n\nThe SQLite repository format variant is not understood by `libsolv`, which is\nused by most current generation RPM package managers.\n\nPackage Managers\n----------------\n\nPackage managers known to use the `yum` metadata format include:\n\n- `yum` [github](https://github.com/rpm-software-management/yum) and http://yum.baseurl.org/\n  - Currently used by:\n    - [Amazon Linux 2](https://aws.amazon.com/amazon-linux-2/)\n  - No longer used by:\n    - [Fedora](https://fedoraproject.org/)\n    - [RHEL](https://redhat.com/rhel/)\n- `dnf` (aka `dnf` version 4) [github](https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf), [`dnf` documentation](https://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)\n  - Currently used by:\n    - [Amazon Linux 2023](https://aws.amazon.com/linux/amazon-linux-2023/)\n    - [Fedora](https://fedoraproject.org/)\n    - [RHEL](https://redhat.com/rhel/)\n- `dnf5` (aka `dnf` version 5) [github](https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5), [`dnf5` documentation](https://dnf5.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)\n  - Targeted for [Fedora](https://fedoraproject.org/) 41, see ([SwitchToDnf5](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SwitchToDnf5))\n- `zypper` [github](https://github.com/openSUSE/zypper) and https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Zypper\n  - Currently used by:\n    - [openSUSE](https://en.opensuse.org/)\n    - [SUSE Linux Enterprise](http://www.suse.com/)\n\nRepository Structure\n====================\n\nThe basic structure is that a `repodata/repomd.xml` file exists, which points\nto all other metadata about the repository.","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frpm-software-management%2Frpm-metadata","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Frpm-software-management%2Frpm-metadata","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frpm-software-management%2Frpm-metadata/lists"}
