If you understand hdlist contain all rpms header, you're able to understand that all method availlable in perl-URPM works for both hdlist or rpms (src and binary). distriblint works from hdlist or rpm, transparency for user. It parse rpm headers or hdlist and get info trought perl-URPM, that's why I add some functions. If you are asking about support of srpms on urpmi, I discussed a bit about this with F. Pons. The problem is simple: you should to be root to install rpms, and should be normal user to install srpms. urpmi mysource.src.rpm will install dependencies to build the src, you have to install manually the src.rpm after or before. My rebuild script do: sudo /usr/sbin/urpmi file.src.rpm rpm -Uvh file.src.rpm Not a big deal. Urpmi is not perfect with src.rpm, but some issues or miss come from rpm itself. Very hard to deal. > > Regards, > Buchan -- Linux pour Mac !? Enfin le moyen de transformer une pomme en v�ritable ordinateur. - JL. Olivier Thauvin - http://nanardon.homelinux.org/
