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/
