Synopsis

dnf5 distro-sync [options] [<package-spec-NPFB>...]

--installed-from-repo=REPO_ID,...
Filters installed packages by the ID of the repository they were installed from.
--from-repo=REPO_ID,...

--downloadonly
Download the resolved package set without executing an RPM transaction.
--offline
Store the transaction to be performed offline. See offline command, dnf5-offline(8).
