yumdownloader do nothing when downloading SRPMS
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:12:04 EST
Description of problem: yumdownloader do nothing when downloading SRPMS Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-utils-1.1.3-1.fc7 in fc7 rawhide How reproducible: yumdownloader --enablerepo development-source --source selinux-policy Actual results: Loading "installonlyn" plugin Loading "skip-broken" plugin development-source 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 304 kB 00:03 developmen: ################################################## 1150/1150 Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished Expected results: down the SRPMS Additional info: there is nothing download, i also try: yumdownloader --enablerepo development-source --source selinux-policy-2.6.1-1.fc7.src.rpm but obviously, the argument is wrong.
I have fixed it in upstream CVS, it will be available in yum-utils-1.1.4. I have also made it a little smarter so it auto enables the source repos for all enabled repos (if it exists) so this will work: yumdownloader --source selinux-policy
Does yum-utils-1.1.4 contain just bugfixes? Do you plan to have it available for F7 final?
The following changes will be available in yum-utils-1.1.4. * Changes to make the '--source' with yumdownloader (This bugzilla report) * Some patches to the security plugin (James Antill & Luke Macken) These patches depends on unreleased changes in yum. I think there will be a yum 3.2 release before F7 final, there include these changes. I think i will wait to after the F7 release and push it as an update.
thanks for your work. i can not wait the fc7 release, so i download directly from cvs :-) it's just python script. i have used and work well
Tim Laurisden, Having this feature broken in Fedora 7 is going to affect a lot of users. This is a feature mentioned rather prominently in the release notes amoung other places. Please update yum-utils and fix this issue.
Look like it to late to get it in Fedora 7. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-maintainers/2007-May/msg00351.html But i will push it as soon as possible to get it into updates.
It's not too late. Deep freeze is only on Thursday. You still have time and even after thursday you can always ask rel eng. Please fix.
Ok, i have made a upstream yum-utils-1.1.4 release and build it in koji and mailed the release team and ask them to include it in Fedora 7 Final.
About the new syntax : yumdownloader --source mail-notification It works well, but when adding --enablerepo=fedora-source parameter, it does nothing : [root@localhost ~]# yumdownloader --source mail-notification Loading "installonlyn" plugin Enabling fedora-source repository Enabling updates-source repository mail-notification-4.0-2.f 100% |=========================| 940 kB 00:01 [root@localhost ~]# yumdownloader --source --enablerepo=fedora-source mail-notification Loading "installonlyn" plugin Enabling fedora-source repository Enabling updates-source repository [root@localhost ~]#
This is because the file is already downloaded, but is not telling you so. this is fixed in upstream CVS, know it tell you that the file already is downloaded.
