How to install src.rpm updates
Has anyone any idea of how can we install ...src.rpm update files? (security patces, updates etc. from Suse) Although there is no error message when we try to install them, when we run a query we see that there hasn't been any update. Therefore, we have no problem installing .rpm files. In that case everything seems to work fine. Do we miss something or there's a special procedure to install ...src.rpm updates? Thanks in advance, i remain...

If you install a .src.rpm, it is extracted to /usr/src/packages/SOURCE and the spec-file to /usr/src/packages/SPECS. You can rebuild the RPM by issuing rpm -ba xxx.spec (from the SPECS directory) or running rpm --rebuild xxx.src.rpm
