It's also not clear when this option would take effect. Would it take
effect if I did `dnf install /path/to/local/file` or just when I did
no, because that looks up that file in your repos and downloads the repo
version of the package.
That's not what I've seen. I've used this to explicitly install the
Google Chrome RPM before from a local path... before the Chrome repo
was set up, and it did not re-download the RPM from any repo. `dnf
install ./google-chrome-stable.rpm`. I remember this because it was
surprising to me that I didn't need to specify 'localinstall', that
regular 'install' just worked. Ever since, I've assumed that
'localinstall' was just an alias for 'install' and didn't behave any
differently. Perhaps that assumption is wrong, but that appeared to be
the behavior I observed at the time.
This was ambiguous and I think you were both considering different meanings.
You can dnf install a local rpm file, but you can also give dnf a path
to an actual file (e.g. /usr/bin/bash) that can be installed and dnf
will find and install the package that contains it.
# dnf install /usr/bin/bash
Package bash-5.2.15-3.fc38.x86_64 is already installed.
