In the process of solving a recent F18 problem it was suggested to me that I examine the grub2 source code. A standard way of obtaining the source code for Fedora packages is to download the srpm. yumdownloader can be used for this. I recently happened upon the Fedora Package Database and noticed it offers access to source code.
Fedora 18 uses grub2 v2.00 (current install is grub2-2.00-15.fc18.i686). Viewing the Fedora package database entry for grub2 http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/grub2.git/ (the portion labelled "download") I don't see anything more recent than grub2 version 1.98 for Fedora 14. Does anyone have any ideas why there is nothing there more recent? The Fedora Project documentation relating to package maintenance talks about using "fedpkg" to access packages in git. It seems to me that the Fedora Package database would be the most convenient way for an end-user (non- maintainer) to view (without intent to modify) Fedora package source code if it worked the way I'm assuming it should. -- Phenom II X2 555 | Biostar TA890FXE | 2 x 4G DDR3 1333 | Maxtor 80G PATA | GeForce 210 _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) Vassar College Feb 6 - Raspberry Pi Mar 6 - 10th Anniversary Meeting - Linux where you least expect it Apr 3 - Typography: Physical Art to Digital Art
