Whether or not this is possible in Fedora depends upon how they decided to package it. I'm not familiar with Fedora, so I would suggest checking the package contents and dependencies to figure out why.
That means I have to get the package to my machine. Is there such a command that will cause yum to download only?
man yum shows:
command is one of: * install package1 [package2] [...] * update [package1] [package2] [...] * check-update * upgrade [package1] [package2] [...] * remove | erase package1 [package2] [...] * list [...] * info [...] * provides | whatprovides feature1 [feature2] [...] * clean [ packages | headers | metadata | cache | dbcache | all ] * makecache * groupinstall group1 [group2] [...] * groupupdate group1 [group2] [...] * grouplist [hidden] * groupremove group1 [group2] [...] * groupinfo group1 [...] * search string1 [string2] [...] * shell [filename] * resolvedep dep1 [dep2] [...] * localinstall rpmfile1 [rpmfile2] [...] * localupdate rpmfile1 [rpmfile2] [...] * deplist package1 [package2] [...] * repolist [all|enabled|disabled]would deplist, repolist, info, do the trick?
deplist might be educational, but a download only, then let me take it apart and copy what I need with mc would be nice. And I don't see that option above. Darnit.
