SYNOPSIS

9       yumdownloader [options] package1 [package2...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       yumdownloader is a program for downloading RPMs from Yum repositories.
13

GENERAL OPTIONS

15       -h, --help
16              Help; display a help message and then quit.
17
18       --destdir DIR
19              Specify  a  destination directory for the download.  Defaults to
20              the current directory.
21
22       --urls Instead of downloading RPMs, list the URLs that would  be  down‐
23              loaded.
24
25       --resolve
26              When  downloading  RPMs,  resolve dependencies and also download
27              the required packages.
28
29       --source
30              Instead of downloading the  binary  RPMs,  download  the  source
31              RPMs.
32
33       --archlist=ARCH1[,ARCH2...]
34              Limit  the  query  to packages of given and compatible architec‐
35              tures. Valid values are all architectures known to rpm/yum  such
36              as  'i386'  and  'src' for source RPMS. Note that repoquery will
37              now change yum's "arch" to the first value in the  archlist.  So
38              "--archlist=i386,i686" will change yum's canonical arch to i386,
39              but allow packages of i386 and i686.

ADDITIONAL OPTIONS

42       Yumdownloader inherits all other options from yum. See the  yum(8)  man
43       page for more information

48              yumdownloader --destdir /var/tmp kernel

51              yumdownloader --urls kernel kernel-smp
52

FILES

54       As yumdownloader uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information,
55       it relies on YUM configuration for its default values like which repos‐
56       itories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:
57
58       /etc/yum.conf
59       /etc/yum/repos.d/
60       /var/cache/yum/
