Hello
I am trying to use yum-plugin-security and yum-downloadonly plugin to download all the security patches to a directory and push it out from my satellite server.
I was wondering if there is anything I can type to download all the packages for me instead of having to type out everypackage name one at a time.

--I was trying to use package name security to download all the security packages but it didnt work.
# yum install --downloadonly --downloaddir=/tmp/secrepo/ security
Loaded plugins: downloadonly, product-id, rhnplugin, security, subscription-manager
Setting up Install Process
No package security available.
Error: Nothing to do

--there are new security patches avaialble
# yum updateinfo list sec

FYI, since you are running Red Hat you can call up Red Hat support for help with your issue.

If you run 'yum update' it should download all updates, regardless of specifying additional switches like "--downloadonly".
