Hi all,

Say I have a reference to a Package object (or, if it makes it easier, a ResObject, or an ui::Selectable one). What is the best way to get a reference to the related SrcPackage object?

Should I do a query for the Package name attribute within the SrcPackage pool?

Hi! Yes, you can get the SrcPackage only from the pool, e.g. using one of ResPoolProxy::lookup method to get a Selectable and from it the highest-version source resolvable, which you can cast to SrcPackage. The Package class has sourcPkg* methods to get its name, edition, type and all of them in one string, but no method to get corresponding SrcPackage: http://gitorious.org/opensuse/libzypp/blobs/master/zypp/Package.h Install it via Zypp::installSrcPackage(srcpkg) It's also possible to install a source package *with* its build deps by simply adding a source package capability requirement for solver: Capability cap( srcpkg->name(), Rel::EQ, srcpkg->edition(), ResKind::srcpackage); getZYpp()->resolver()->addRequire(cap); ... and solve & commit HTH -- cheers, jano Ján Kupec YaST team ---------------------------------------------------------(PGP)--- Key ID: 637EE901 Fingerprint: 93B9 C79B 2D20 51C3 800B E09B 8048 46A6 637E E901 ---------------------------------------------------------(IRC)--- Server: irc.freenode.net Nick: jniq Channels: #zypp #yast #suse #susecz ---------------------------------------------------------(EOF)---
