✨ NAME ✨

Okay so bestie, welcome to yumdownloader! 🌟 This is literally just a redirect to the DNF download plugin. It's giving "download binary or source packages" energy—no cap. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

So here's the tea: you're gonna run this command, right? The synopsis is super simple, like—

dnf download [options] <pkg-spec>...

That's it! Periodt. ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

Bestie, let me tell you about <pkg-spec>—it's the package specification for the package you wanna download. Lowkey, you can even specify local RPMs too. That's super useful when you're using the --source option, or if you just wanna download the same RPM again. 🤷‍♀️

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

All general DNF options are accepted, bestie! For the deets, see Options in dnf(8). But here are the specific ones for this command—let's go! 💫

  • --help-cmd — Show this help, bestie! 🫶
  • --arch <arch>[,<arch>...] — Limit the query to packages of given architectures. Default is all compatible architectures with your system. To download packages with arch incompatible with your system, use --forcearch=<arch> option to change basearch. 🌈
  • --source — Download the source rpm. Enables source repositories of all enabled binary repositories. 📦
  • --debuginfo — Download the debuginfo rpm. Enables debuginfo repositories of all enabled binary repositories. 🐛
  • --downloaddir — Download directory. Default is the current directory (the directory must exist). 📁
  • --url — Instead of downloading, print list of urls where the rpms can be downloaded. 🔗
  • --urlprotocol — Limit the protocol of the urls output by the --url option. Options are http, https, rsync, ftp. 🌐
  • --resolve — Resolves dependencies of specified packages and downloads missing dependencies in the system. 🧩
  • --alldeps — When used with --resolve, download all dependencies (do not skip already installed ones). 🎯
