I want to look at the source code. I was expecting that command line to install (unpack) the source code into /usr/src/RPMS/ but maybe --install-src compiles and installs *from* source code? Either way, what is the approved method of looking at the contents of a *.src.rpm file? An RTFM is perfectly apropriate here - as long as it includes a link to the FM. -- blind Pete Sig goes here...
