x-cmd RPM Repository

https://www.x-cmd.com/rpm/ — a yum / dnf / zypper repository that hosts the official x-cmd RPM package.

This repository is published verbatim under https://www.x-cmd.com/rpm/. Any Packages/*.rpm together with the generated repodata/ is a standard RPM repository that can be consumed directly by dnf, yum, or zypper.

The package itself is built and released upstream at x-cmd/release; this repo only mirrors the .rpm artifacts and maintains the repository metadata.

The package is noarch (architecture-independent), so one flat layout serves every RPM-supported architecture.

Install

Fedora / RHEL / CentOS / Rocky / Alma (dnf)

# 1. Enable this repository
sudo dnf install -y dnf-plugins-core
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://www.x-cmd.com/rpm/x-cmd.repo

# 2. Install x-cmd
sudo dnf install -y x-cmd

Or, without dnf-plugins-core, drop the repo file manually:

sudo curl -fsSL https://www.x-cmd.com/rpm/x-cmd.repo -o /etc/yum.repos.d/x-cmd.repo
sudo dnf install -y x-cmd

Older RHEL / CentOS 7 (yum)

sudo yum install -y yum-utils
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://www.x-cmd.com/rpm/x-cmd.repo
sudo yum install -y x-cmd

openSUSE (zypper)

sudo zypper ar -f https://www.x-cmd.com/rpm/ x-cmd
sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper in x-cmd

After install, verify with:

x --version

baseurl is the repository root, so the package <location href> is the relative path Packages/x-cmd_0.9.9_all.rpm.

The package is noarch, so a single flat layout serves every architecture — distinct from Debian's per-arch Packages indices.

Adding a new release

1. Drop the new .rpm into Packages/ (optionally remove superseded ones).

2. Regenerate the metadata with createrepo_c. There is no createrepo on macOS, so run it through a container:

   docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/repo" fedora:latest bash -lc '
     dnf install -y createrepo_c >/dev/null &&
     createrepo_c --general-compress-type=gz --basedir /repo /repo'

   Metadata is gzip-compressed (--general-compress-type=gz) for maximum client compatibility (classic yum on RHEL 7 cannot read zstd metadata).

3. Update docs/3-stats.{md,cn.md,en.md,llms.md,faq.yml} with the new version and size.

4. Commit Packages/*.rpm, the updated repodata/, the docs, and push. The site refreshes from this branch.

Notes

• Packages and metadata are currently unsigned (gpgcheck=0, repo_gpgcheck=0). Enable GPG signing once a key is published — see CONTRIBUTING.md for the procedure.
• Source RPM and build provenance live in x-cmd/release.
• License of the x-cmd package: Apache-2.0.
• Companion APT repository: x-cmd/deb → https://www.x-cmd.com/deb/.
• Bilingual docs convention mirrors x-cmd/cve and the sibling x-cmd/deb.

Documentation

User-facing docs live under docs/, mirroring the x-cmd/cve convention:

File	Purpose
docs/0-install.{md,cn.md,en.md,llms.md,faq.yml}	Install via dnf / yum / zypper
docs/1-packaging.{md,cn.md,en.md,llms.md,faq.yml}	Build your own .rpm and host it
docs/2-security.{md,cn.md,en.md,llms.md,faq.yml}	gpgcheck=0 reality + GPG signing plan
docs/3-stats.{md,cn.md,en.md,llms.md,faq.yml}	Snapshot of what the repo currently publishes

Each topic has 5 file variants:

• .md — root language version (English by convention)
• .cn.md — Chinese version
• .en.md — explicit English (mirrors .md)
• .llms.md — LLM-friendly structured data
• .faq.yml — FAQ structured data with confidence + references
