DESCRIPTIONyumdownloader 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 down‐
loaded.
--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 val‐
ues 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 "--arch‐
list=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 repos‐
itories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:
/etc/yum.conf
/etc/yum/repos.d/
/var/cache/yum/
