hi list,packages
Is it possible to download all the packages including dependencies
without installing with yum?
I searched man pages but unable to find out any command.
Can anybody point out how i will do this?
# man rpm
look for --aid option

i mean to say when we do " yum install mplayer" ..yum will look yum repo
and
download and install the mplayer packages along with dependency pacages.
My
aim is to only download these pacages.
I don't want to install. I changed the /etc/yum.conf file [keepcache=1]
and
i could get all packages under /var/cache/yum/<repo name>/packagesor as
specified . But the things is that after downloading this packages yum is
going to install these packages which i don't want. I can achive this by
pressing ctrl+c before installion start . i don't want to watch when
downloading of these packages has been finished ...............
are there any [arg] available with yum which can do this thing?
bye suman

AFAIK, You can do that.. yum works with a python script.. After download,
it will run the installation as a transaction. You can see the script
/usr/bin/yum..
It calls.. yummain.py which is in /usr/share/yum-cli/
go to the section "Run the Transaction"
Comment the "base.doTransaction()" or add some code to ask for "y/N"
before doing this.
For sure that, some other easy ways too exist.. iam not recommending
this..
go on with Google..
