Fedora :: Downloading Multiple RPMs With Yum
Dec 18, 2009
I am trying to create a local repository of installed RPMs on my workstation. Using the 'rpm -qa' I can gather the installed RPMs on my workstation. Is there a way for me download all these RPMs using the output of 'rpm -qa'? 'yum --downloadonly' will allow me the option of downloading without installing. Since the installed RPMs are not cached in my workstation I have to download these RPMs again. If I have a local repo then it will be easier for me restore my installation without having to rediscover the packages needed. I am looking for how I can download multiple RPMs.

Using yum installs the binary version of the software. Is it possible to use yum to download the src rpms , because i have seen one repo called Fedora src. I am using Fedora 11.

I have a home network with 6+ x86_64 machines, all with similar setups. In the past (FC10 and before), I've had common package repositories (e.g /var/cache/yum/fedora/packages) shared via NFS with all the machines (and with keepcache=1 in /etc/yum.conf). That way, a given RPM only got downloaded once; the other machines would then pull it from my local package repository. And I don't mind the disk usage of keeping one copy of all my old RPMS around.
It seems that while DRPMS is great for a single machine, it doesn't make sense in my case. If I have to download the DRPM 6 times (and take the time/CPU hit to recreate the RPM 6 times), I might as well have downloaded the RPM once and been done with it. Is there a not-too-convoluted method to keep a common package repository across multiple machines even with DRPMS? Or, better, to have that first downloading machine pull a DRPM, generate the RPM, then save the RPM in the local shared repository?

As I was updating machines today, I was wondering... Is there some way to cache the RPM files locally that yum is grabbing? Like many, I have a number of VMs I run, and it most updates are the same between the nodes. I'm guessing I'd need some sort of http cache? Just looking for pointers, not sure what I'm looking for, however.

Whenever I do anything in Zypper, there is always a huge lag before it starts downloading a file, but then it downloads at normal speed. I think this has to do with the fact that it is now trying to download from multiple servers, and I would like to turn that off. Where do I go for that?

I have created a simple download schedular with source-code give below :
---------------------record_strokes.sh-------------------
touch /home/student/packs/lynx/logfile
lynx -cmd_log /home/student/packs/lynx/logfile
[code]....
So, this is a simple download scheduler program code. Which creates multiple threads of the downloading process - wget (i could also have used 'curl' instead 'wget').Can you debug this code?

I want to download a file (reasonably large) from say for e.g sourceforge. The problem is some mirrors give speeds of at max 40kB/s and I was considering options to increase this. I considered download managers and seems to work somewhat I experimented with axel and lftp's pget. Now I am wondering how I might download the same file from severals servers (say sourceforge's various mirrors). I tried axel by concataneting all server adresses but not sure if it is working. How do I verify that it is indeed using all the servers specified??

Anybody know of any Firefox 3.5 final RPMS for Fedora 10? I looked a rebuilding the Fedora 11 RPMS for Fedora 10, but the other packages requiring an upgrade as well is getting out of control.

I'd like to confirm if the latest updates of a couple of rpms is causing me a problem. I'd like to downgrade these rpms to an intermediate version (greater than the original F11 versions, but less than the latest version). I've looked on a few mirrors, and all I can find is the latest update. Are intermediate versions of an rpm discarded when they're replaced with new versions? Are these intermediate versions available some place?
The two rpms I'm interested in are:
gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.16-1.fc11.i586
gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.25-1.fc11.i586

I have noticed that the updates to my f12 64bit systems are running longer due to the fact that fewer fedora updates are delta rpms. Why is this. I know that rpmfusion updates and other third party updates are not covered.

I know there is a command that will show what rpms are installed on a machine that are no longer available in a yum repository, but I can't remember what it is! It is useful to identify packages left over after an upgrade that are no longer needed, or to identify third party software.

I have been running f13 ever since it was released. Evidently the kmod-rt2870 rpms are never deleted when older kernels are removed. When I tried to do today's update the Package Manager and yum complained that some of the older kmod-rt2870 packages left over from fedora 12 were missing kernel dependencies. The kernels have been missing for a long time. I don't know why the package manager started complaining today.
I tried
1) yum clean all
2 rpm --rebuilddb
3) removed the /lib/modules directory corresponding to the old kernels
and the problem persisted.
I finally removed all of the kmod-rt2870 rpms what where originally installed in fedora 12 and I was finally able to complete the update. Why did the package manager suddenly start complaining about the missing kernels?

I just installed F14 (so far I like it ). I had F13 but decided to wipe the old OS and install F14 fresh. In the course of replacing all of my old programs, I had to download several .rpms like the .rpms for the RPMFusion repos and the .rpm for Adobe Reader. After downloading the .rpms to a download directory I ran yum localinstall to install them. The installations went well and I didn't have any problems.
However, now the packages are showing up as updates which need to be installed in the software updates window. I also ran yum check-update and they are showing up as updates which need to be installed. I tried deleting the .rpms and also running yum clean all but they are still showing up as updates which need to be installed.

I am trying to install f10 on an old dell dimension 2400 with an old video chipset. Everything was working pretty smooth until I tried installing an .rpm file from a flashdrive. At first, it looked like it was installing the rhpxl file but gave a warning message that said
warning:rpmts_HdrFromFdno:Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, Key ID 4ebfc273
then says the public key will not be installed. Is there a file/command that I can download and run from a flash because I have no capable internet connection because for some reason linux doesn't see it in the install.

Okay, according to CUPS, I've installed this printer, but whenever I try to print, it tells me it's completed, but the printer does nothing. So I search a little and found some Canon Linux drivers from Canon Europe. I downloaded the RPM version, which gave me two files: cnijfilter-common-3.00-1.i386.rpm and cnijfilter-ip3600series-3.00-1.i386.rpm. So I installed the common file, followed by the ip3600 file, using rpm -ivh [file name] at command line. The RPM install went fine. However, what do I do now? I tried searching the CUPS list of printers, and nothing new is listed (oddly, CUPS seemed to have drivers for virtually every iPxxxx printer except the 3600 when I first installed). I tried restarting cups, no difference. I even tried to print (suspecting nothing had changed, but hoping) and it still thinks it's printing, but nothing comes out. What did installing those two RPMs do? Did it put a file somewhere that I need to reference in the cups admin page?

It is not difficult to set up a regular local repository (rpms) and manage a fedora system with it using yum. I wonder if the process is same for deltaRPMS. Has anyone successfully set up a local deltaRPM repo or is this something reserved for online repos? How does one achieve this?

I downloaded the current F12 DVD iso on my macbook to install on my Dell 450 Intel Xeon 3.00GHz, but I cant figure out how to verify the download. The Fedoraproject/en/verify does not mention mac, and the command is not working in the mac terminal.

My Fedora setup is working great so far, and I don't really have any complaints. I installed it on a portable hard drive, connected over USB. Thing is, I installed my system with the LiveCD, and I wanted to download the full DVD for a friend because of his needs for his system. When I try to download the full DVD (whether over Firefox or Transmission), the system hangs by suddenly showing a screen with the Fedora logo in the middle and a light blue background, the same as in boot up. Also, my caps lock blinks in a consistent fashion like a metronome. The same happens whether I try to download to the portable hard drive or to a FAT32 partition on my laptop's actual hard drive. Is there any way to fix this, or can I be calmed by the fact that it just happens because it's installed on a portable hard drive? This problem isn't happening on Ubuntu (which is installed on my laptop's hard drive), where I am downloading from right now.

if there is a way of downloading some extra packages and including some extra repositories that will automatically install during the main installation? With the option of a few settings being saved too... like for those that are used to windows having the gnome menu on the bottom.
I am promoting and convincing a lot of people to try Linux and I always recommend fedora as the OS of choice. I have no interest in creating my own distro, because I love Fedora. I just want to make sure these users can have all the codecs and little extras that makes computing fun without being a geek.My main issue is when I wipe their HDD and install Fedora, I then have to repeat the same tweaks and installs every time. This is my 7th time doing the exact same install and am looking for a quicker way.
