  • @Bratchley Is there a way to get that name from a package url? Commented Mar 25, 2015 at 18:13
  • You should be able to give rpm a full URL to the RPM you're interested in. Example which will give you the package name. One note would be that it uses wget internally but seems to silently suppress errors. Commented Mar 25, 2015 at 18:17
