How to recursivly download RPM dependencies?

Question

I want to write a mini script that downloads all the recursive dependencies of an RPM package in Linux RedHat.

When I use:

repoquery -a --requires --recursive --resolve PACKAGE_NAME

I'm not getting all the recursive dependencies, but when I use:

repoquery -a --tree-requires PACKAGE_NAME

I'm getting all the dependencies but I'm not getting a usable list that I can pipeline into yumdownloader.

What should I do?

yes, I tried it too, and it doesn't retrieve all the dependencies recursively — Malki, Jul 22 '13 at 12:14

You can try repotrack It will download one or more packages and all dependencies.

repotrack worked for me. It downloaded **all dependencies** needed for the RPM package. syntax: `repotrack package_name` – daniel rubambura May 23 '19 at 08:33

If you're from the future like me (Fedora 23+), where yum is getting replaced with dnf, and repotracker is no longer working, you might find this bash script useful.
