What is a .YUMTX file?
The .YUMTX file extension stands for a YUM Transaction File. This type of file is created by a program called Yellowdog Updater, Modified (YUM), which is used on Linux operating systems like Fedora, CentOS, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. These systems use something called the RPM Package Manager to handle software packages.
A .YUMTX file contains data about transactions made using YUM. This means it records the details of what happens when you use YUM to install, update, or remove software on your computer. You can save these files and use them later to redo the same transactions, which can save time if you need to repeat the same actions.
These files are automatically created every time you do something with YUM, even if you decide to cancel the transaction. They are stored in a special folder on your computer called /tmp/.
To open and use .YUMTX files, you need to use the Yum Package Manager. This is the same tool that creates them. By using Yum Package Manager, you can load the transaction data from a .YUMTX file and quickly perform the same updates or changes to your system as before.
