Topic: [RESOLVED] Download rpms with YUM

[cool34000]

Hi everyone !

I was wondering if it's possible to download rpms using YUM...
I didn't see an option to match what I'm looking for: I just need to download rpms, not to install them!

Thanks.

yum doesn't provide that capability. yumdownloader, from the yum-utils pakage, does.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yum-utils seems to be perfect for what I need!

I found it on smedev repo but it seems that I have to update yum >= 3.1.1 and python >= 2.4  

I've search for a compatible rpm and I found this one : yum-utils-0.3.1-1.fc4.noarch.rpm
Would it be serious to install it on a prod server ?

This command installs yum-utils-0.5-1.c4 from Centos extras:

# yum install yum-utils --enablerepo=extras

Thanks Darrell, I didn't think to look in repo EXTRAS

Thanks again to both of you
