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/
