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/
