[opensuse] Are src.rpm packages installable?
Hello: Is it possible to install an src.rpm package similarly to binary or kernel-src packages in openSUSE? Or are they only for rebuilding? TIA, IG Nyelvet tanulnál?

If you install one it will put specs, sources, patches under /usr/src/packages -- Benjamin Weber -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

A src.rpm is installable, but it's not stored in the rpm database, so you won't see it with rpm -q All that happens when you install it is that the spec file gets copied to /usr/src/packages/SPECS and the source tar ball and patches get copied to /usr/src/packages/SOURCES. You can then "assemble" it with rpmbuild -bp /usr/src/packages/SPECS/<spec file> which will unpack the tar ball and apply the patches in /usr/src/packages/BUILD/<package name> Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Alternatively, if all you're wanting to do is rebuild them, you don't need to "install" it. All you need to do is use: rpmbuild --rebuild <source package> and, as long as the requirements are satisfied for building, it will be rebuilt for the system it is built upon.

Thanks. This was exactly I wanted to know. According to this I can remove an installed src.rpm by simply deleting the files from /usr/src/packages/SOURCES and /usr/src/ packages/SPECS, can't I? I checked my directories in /usr/src/packages/ and found that SOURCES has several files. These files are not only source tar.gz files but text files too. How could they get there? Simple compilation (make;make install) could cause that? Or rpmbuild --rebuild might have put them there? Thanks, IG ________________________________________________________ Hatvan év, 17 dalban.

Simple compilation (make;make install) could cause that? Or rpmbuild --rebuild might have put them there? As you said they are text files, you should check the contents of them. They could be patches to the tarbols. There is a BUILD directory that is used to build the rpm. All 'build' files go there.
