can anybody plz tell me what source rpms are about? is there a
special procedure to installing them?
Source code , SRC.rpms are just that.
you have to create a directory
place <package>.src.rpm in it,
and in a terminl,
cd directory sources
rpm --rebuild <package>.src.rpm
If it's a big one and you want the errors messages pumped to a text file,
rpm -rebuild <package>.src.rpm 2> <pathtotextfile>.txt
you don't have to make a text file ,just name it and it will create
the text file where you tell it.
thanks for the explanation. ... and these files are more 'problem free'
than tarball instalations (I don't like those .. I get lots of problems
with those) ?
