Hi. I followed the steps and the command finished without any error, the I thought it had worked. When I took a look at /usr/src/packages/SOURCE I didn't find any files there. I moved back to the command I was using and tried with Dave´s tip and used only the name of the package without the version and it worked -------------- mnsgw:~ # zypper si mariadb Retrieving repository 'openSUSE-Leap-42.3-Update' metadata ...................................[done] Building repository 'openSUSE-Leap-42.3-Update' cache ........................................[done] Reading installed packages...

Hi. It worked :-)

Thank you all and I am sorry for bothering you. What I have done was just what is stated on the OpenSuse documentation @ https://en.opensuse.org/Source_code ...... You can install the source code for a package in your system with:

zypper si <packagename>

Note that you need to add first the source repository. .....

Regards, Carlos.

Hi.

We need to install the source package of mariadb to recompile it adding some options on it. I have added the source repository with Yast and downloaded the source file, the I try to use zipper to install it this is what I get.

Nothing to do. -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- ----

Am I missing something?

It seems that you should just use the name 'mariadb' and let zypper find

the

appropriate source RPM, as Anton did in his alternative syntax below. I don't think there's anything wrong with your si command, though do note that -D means something different to what it does for the install and other commands.

...

RTFM for 'package type'.

As in zypper install -t srcpackage .....

I get

# zypper install -D -t srcpackage mariadb Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies...
