I'm missing a very simple functionality which I still can find
neither in man nor in FAQ. I want 'yum update' to provide a list of

long download can be done at a different time. One can later run
'yum localupdate' when required packages are already downloaded
manually. Does yum already have a switch to turn this on?
My understanding is that
'yumdownloader --urls --resolve'
should provide similar functionality, but it (as in
yum-utils-1.0.2-1) dies with:

It is fixed in CVS now, but i also found a bug in yum, so it will
only work with current yum 3_0_X CVS.
I will release a new release of yum-utils, then the next yum 3.0.x is
released.
Oh, thank you very much!
Can you confirm, that YUM itself does not support this simple "feature"?
Yes, Yum don't have this feature, but have a powerful API, so tools like
yumdownloader can be created to do the not so common tasks.
I don't understand why you want a list for urls and feed it into wget at
a later time and run yum localinstall on the download rpms.
Why dont you just run 'yum -y update' at a scheduled time.
Tim
