I'm trying to get hold of a source package, so installed yum-utils
and enabled the fedora-source repository. I then went through the
following procedure:
[ian at prometheus ~]$ yumdownloader --source --dest . vorbis-tools
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Cannot access repository dir /var/tmp/yum-ian-CBzNNI/updates
[ian at prometheus ~]$ mkdir /var/tmp/yum-ian-CBzNNI/updates
[ian at prometheus ~]$ yumdownloader --source --dest . vorbis-tools
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Cannot access repository dir /var/tmp/yum-ian-CBzNNI/updates/packages
[ian at prometheus ~]$ mkdir /var/tmp/yum-ian-CBzNNI/updates/packages
[ian at prometheus ~]$ yumdownloader --source --dest . vorbis-tools
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Cannot access repository dir /var/tmp/yum-ian-CBzNNI/freshrpms
[ian at prometheus ~]$ mkdir /var/tmp/yum-ian-CBzNNI/freshrpms/
[ian at prometheus ~]$ mkdir /var/tmp/yum-ian-CBzNNI/freshrpms/packages
[ian at prometheus ~]$ yumdownloader --source --dest . vorbis-tools
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Cannot access repository dir /var/tmp/yum-ian-CBzNNI/fedora-source
[ian at prometheus ~]$ mkdir /var/tmp/yum-ian-CBzNNI/fedora-source
[ian at prometheus ~]$ yumdownloader --source --dest . vorbis-tools
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Cannot access repository dir /var/tmp/yum-ian-CBzNNI/fedora-source/packages
[ian at prometheus ~]$ mkdir /var/tmp/yum-ian-CBzNNI/fedora-source/packages
[ian at prometheus ~]$ yumdownloader --source --dest . vorbis-tools

Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: fedora
If yumdownloader needs those directories, should it create them
itself? If I run as root I don't get any errors, but neither
does the package appear to download. Any suggestions?
