NAME¶
yumdownloader - download RPM packages from Yum repositories
SYNOPSIS¶
yumdownloader [options] package1 [package2...]
DESCRIPTION¶
yumdownloader is a program for downloading RPMs from Yum repositories.
GENERAL OPTIONS¶
- -h, --help
- Help; display a help message and then quit.
- --destdir DIR
- Specify a destination directory for the download. Defaults to the current
directory.
- --urls
- Instead of downloading RPMs, list the URLs that would be downloaded.
- --resolve
- When downloading RPMs, resolve dependencies and also download the required
packages.
- --source
- Instead of downloading the binary RPMs, download the source RPMs.
- --archlist=ARCH1[,ARCH2...]
- Limit the query to packages of given architecture(s). Valid values are all
architectures known to rpm/yum such as 'i386' and 'src' for source RPMS.
Note that repoquery will now change yum's "arch" to the first
value in the archlist. So "--archlist=i386,i686" will change
yum's canonical arch to i386, but allow packages of i386 and i686.
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS¶
Yumdownloader inherits all other options from yum. See the yum(8) man page for
more information
EXAMPLES¶
- Download the kernel RPM to /var/tmp:
- yumdownloader --destdir /var/tmp kernel
- List the URL for the kernel and kernel-smp RPMs:
- yumdownloader --urls kernel kernel-smp
FILES¶
As yumdownloader uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it
relies on YUM configuration for its default values like which repositories to
use. Consult YUM documentation for details:
/etc/yum.conf
/etc/yum/repos.d/
/var/cache/yum/
