a1an asked:
I am looking for a way to have yum install only dependencies for a given package, something like an –prepare-for-install option so I can take a snapshot of the prepared system and test the rpm setup with different options or rebuilds of the package itself on a clean system without having to rely on the rpm uninstall and without downloading the dependencies each time.
My answer:
yum install $(repoquery --requires <package>)
