How do I download a thunderbird rpm for Fedora 22? I'm sure Mozilla will provide one. dnf install thunderbird will do it but that does not give me an rpm I can use for another install.
Normally this is not a problem but in messing with thunderbird I have been forced to dnf install a copy each time I want to start over which seems a waste. especially when my Viasat usage is limited to an allocated amount each month ...
If you have the dnf-plugins-core package installed dnf will have a "download" option.
See http://dnf.readthedocs.org/en/latest/cli_vs_yum.html and the section on "Changes in DNF plugins compared to Yum utilities".
. It looks like: |download_packages|(/pkglist/, /progress=None/)
Download packages in pkglist from remote repositories.
might be the command I need? But I can't make it work?
