[Bug 560868] New: Enabling Source repo - has not made src rpm available
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=560868 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=560868#c0 Summary: Enabling Source repo - has not made src rpm available Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: rob.opensuse.linux@googlemail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091103 SUSE/3.5.5-1.1.2 Firefox/3.5.5 Not clear if this is really YaST2's problem but have to start somewhere. Enabled the source repo, expecting to find it as easy to install src rpm as in past. The http://download.opensuse.org site mirror brain sends me to is browseable but does not contain src directories, just the i586, i686, noarch, x86_64 rpm directories. Ran Software Manager, I get a pop up, about Content key. No source rpm's visible inside the program. Go back, reenable & refresh the source repo, start up Software Manager to try to make record of the pop up, as Peter Poeml suggested I write bug report. This time, no pop up. Still trying to find src rpm's only gives a few exceptional sources, like kernel, which aren't handled in the normal way. Have access to src.rpm via rsync of staging,opensuse.org so, this is more a bug due to finding the source for the OSS software is now puzzling, whereas in past it was very simple.

So this Bug is really about enabling the source repo, not offering anything useful in YaST Software Manager. zypper si <package> has installed a source rpm. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I guess the package selector ignores src.rpm packages. Thomas? Exactly. yast2-qt-pkg doesn't support installation of source packages.

Simple information likely suffices to avoid confusion. For example "This program does not support source rpm installation, so install source rpm's with command 'zypper si'", or some feedback when source repo is selected in the software manager rather than showing nothing. The Fate entry aims I think to provide a more general web enabled source browser, which opens up the source even without having the distro installed. Perhaps that could be referred to in future, if when implemented it's preferred over source rpm. Personally I have not been affected by this, because I would download source with a browser and install on CLI using rpm, when investigating SuSE patches. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If someone is interested in a graphically way installing source rpms, please provide a patch. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
