Hey folks,
Is there any way to fake a "yum update" just to get yum to force a download of all the files it needs, without actually installing them.
I finally have a RPM cache/proxy working and I just want to populate it. The server I want to actually update cannot be updated until tomorrow but I'd like to do a fake update just to force the RPMs into my cache so they will all be pre-downloaded.
I don't see anyway from the man page to do this.
You can use reposing tool for almost similar functionality..
