I'd like to download all the rpms of security updates to fc7 since the

won't actually do it.

If getting just the security updates is hard, I'd settle for getting
all the updates.

If for some reason getting the updates is hard, I guess I will have to
try to make a private mirror of the repository. That's a bit more
elaborate than I really need, but at least it has been discussed
recently on the list.

How should I choose a repository to get stuff from? Usually I just let
yum do it, and I don't know what's going on under the hood. Is there
some FAQ or howto I should look at? I tried googling and poking
around, found the basic release rpms at redhat.com, but can't figure
out where updates come from. Must be overlooking something obvious.


apt-get, on Debian, has the "--print-uris" switch just for this purpose. It prints a list of URIs for the packages needed to bring _this_ box up to date, then you can take that list to someplace else and shove into wget.

You might request it as an enhancement to yum.
