The openSUSE download server http://download.opensuse.org/ contains source rpms, e.g. here is the link to the Firefox source rpm in the current openSUSE (15.0; 15.1 is scheduled for release in a few weeks): http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/openSUSE-current/repo/oss/src/MozillaFirefox-60.0-lp150.2.2.src.rpm I didn't try looking at this (it's 304MB), but I download a small source rpm from the same repo and used rpm2cpio and cpio on it with no problem. Here's the link to the latest Firefox source used in openSUSE Tumbleweed: http://download.opensuse.org/source/tumbleweed/repo/oss/src/MozillaFirefox-66.0.3-1.1.src.rpm Steve Berman -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
