Googling for this feature, I saw reports from the yum developer that it
wasn't yet implemented. This was in mailing list posts from a year or
more ago. Did it ever make it into the yum code?
I want to start downloading the updates for a server going from 5.0 to
5.1 and then do the actual installation once I'm on site. I don't want
to have to wait around while there for the download to proceed. I'd
rather have all the packages ready in the yum cache when I get there.
There is a yum plugin to do this ... it is called yum-downloadonly, so
yum install yum-downloadonly
Afterwards do this to see how to use the pluging:
yum --help
Basically ...
yum --downloadonly upgrade
This will put all the updates into the /var/cache/yum/
(This will be all the updates for the packagelist on the current machine
... so if you want to get them all, make sure to duplicate the machine
packagelist you want to get the downloads for)
you can then copy these files to the new machine(s) /var/cache/yum/

What about centos 4? Does exists something similar?
