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?
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
