SuSE has a single source code base. They build all their platforms from the same source repository. If you go to one of the SuSE FTP mirrors, and download a source RPM for a particular version, that is the same source RPM that would have been used for all their platforms that contain that particular level of the package. It's a much better bet than trying to download "vanilla" source from the package developers' home site. http://www.suse.de/en/support/download/ftp/int_mirrors.html http://www.suse.de/en/support/download/ftp/germ_mirrors.html
I myself spend a lot of time at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/8.1/suse/src and ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/8.1/suse/nosrc Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: Hall, Ken (IDS ECCS) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 28, 2003 3:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: SLES 8 Assuming you can get them, per my other notes.
