Solution

dnf reposync — Synchronize packages and metadata of a remote DNF repository to a local directory. Not default to dnf but supported via dnf-plugins-core. See also: dnf. More information: <https://dnf-plugins-core.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reposync.html>.

Synchronize all packages from the repository with id repo_name to a subdirectory repo_name of the current working directory:

dnf reposync --repoid {{repo_name}}

Synchronize all packages and define a custom save location:

dnf reposync --repoid {{repo_name}} {{[-p|--download-path]}} {{path/to/directory}}

Synchronize all packages and metadata:

dnf reposync --repoid {{repo_name}} --download-metadata

Download only newest packages per-repo:

dnf reposync --repoid {{repo_name}} {{[-n|--newest-only]}}

Just print URLs of what would be downloaded, don't download:

dnf reposync --repoid {{repo_name}} {{[-u|--urls]}}

Try to set the timestamps of the downloaded files to those on the remote side:

dnf reposync --repoid {{repo_name}} --remote-time
