How to Check the Size of the Yum Channels in Oracle Linux

by admin

Question: How to find out how large a yum channel repository is, to know how much data the channel will sync to a local yum repository?

To see the actual size of the repository use either the “yum repolist -v” or “yum repoinfo” command.

1. Example for checking the size of latest OL7 yum channel

# yum repoinfo ol7_latest

Loaded plugins: langpacks, ulninfo
Repo-id : ol7_latest/x86_64
Repo-name : Oracle Linux 7Server Latest (x86_64)
Repo-status : enabled
Repo-updated : Fri Jan 25 22:56:45 2019
Repo-pkgs : 8,857
Repo-size : 10 G
Repo-baseurl : http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL7/latest/x86_64/
Repo-expire : 21,600 second(s) (last: Mon Jan 28 09:34:04 2019)
Repo-excluded: 2,947
Repo-filename: /etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol7.repo

2. Example for checking the size of all enabled yum channels of a OL6 system that was registered to ULN:

# uln-channel --list
ol6_x86_64_UEKR4
ol6_x86_64_latest
# yum repolist -v
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "ulninfo" plugin
Loading "refresh-packagekit" plugin
Loading "security" plugin
Config time: 0.035
This system is receiving updates from ULN.
