+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Together with --no-install, it's what you want.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Indeed, excepted for two issues:
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> - it won't warn the user about the unability to write into
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> /var/cache/urpmi/rpms until the download start
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> - it won't solve the 'you have to guess what I actually did' issue :/
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Could we have some kind of non-interactive, easy-to-parse,
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> automation-dedicated output ?
+</I>&gt;<i> I just tested the patches.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> The --download-dir option seems borken:
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> [<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">guillaume at beria</A> trunk]$ LC_ALL=C ./urpmi --no-install --download-dir
+</I>&gt;<i> ~/tmp/ wine64
+</I>&gt;<i> Unknown option: download-dir
+</I>&gt;<i> No package named /home/guillaume/tmp/
+</I>An error of mine while attempting to run it. However, the value of this
+option is always ignored, in favor of the one generated from the call to
+userdir(), which seems to be precisely made for downloading package
+without root privileges, according to the comment:
+#mdkonline uses userdir because it runs as user
+
+So, do we really need this option, or could we assume than packages
+downloaded without root privileges will aways end in
+/tmp/.urpmi-&lt;uid&gt;/rpms ?
