CentOS - Dec 2008 - question on yum-downloadonly

Hi

I found yum-downloadonly and executed my command do that and save the
dependencies in my current directory.

Now when I execute my command:
rpm -i mypackage

all the dependencies are not found even though they are in the current 
directory.

if I do a "yum install mypackage" (and its in the current directory)
its
not found either.

How do I now install the mypackage in the current directory and look for 
all dependencies in the current directory?

Thanks,

Jerry

here are two ways:

$ mkdir rpmtemp
$ sudo yum --downloadonly --downloaddir=./rpmtemp install <package>
$ sudo rpm -Uvh ./rpmtemp/*.rpm
$ sudo rm -rf rpmtemp

or

$ mkdir rpmtemp
$ sudo yum --downloadonly --downloaddir=./rpmtemp install <package>
$ sudo yum localinstall ./rpmtemp/*.rpm
$ sudo rm -rf rpmtemp

Why not let them go where yum wants them?

rpm doesn't know anything about finding packages to resolve 
dependencies.  You have to give it all the package names on the command 
line if you are going to do this manually.

rpm -i *.rpm would work if those are the only rpm packages there. 
Otherwise if you don't specify a download directory, yum will uses its 
normal location under /var/cache/yum which is where it will look when 
you do the yum install.
