Am including Factory list, perhaps in 11.3 a better way of making source available to end users, which avoids big load on Build Service and Mirrors is possible?
On project list, a request was made for source by someone unfamiliar with openSUSE suggested an ISO; installing source rpm's with YaST is not working as it did in past for me, because only binary packages are held on most of the download.opensuse.org mirrors.
Now you mention it, I haven't been able to install source rpms with yast for ages, I think SuSE 7.3 was the last time or 9.1, this is actually a much overlooked bug or lacking feature. I normally use "zypper si" to install source rpms.
