Hi
I use yumdownloader occasionally to grab RPMS. One thing that confuses me though is the --source option. I thought this would mean rather than getting the RPM that it would retrieve the source RPM. But it appears this isn't the case. Can anyone explain what this option actually relates to ?

Bingo, I didn't even think to check if there are source repositories defined. Thanks for the help much appreciated :)

That is what the man page says it is for, but maybe that option wasn't complete in older versions.
