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	 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 and compatible architec-
	      tures. 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 repos-
       itories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:

       /etc/yum.conf
       /etc/yum/repos.d/
       /var/cache/yum/

       consult the  FAQ	 section  on  http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq  and  if
       unsuccessful  in	 finding  a  resolution contact the mailing list: yum-
       [email protected].	 To file a bug use  http://bugzilla.redhat.com
