I don't know about YaST, but zypper has a basic support for this: $ zypper source-install foo Currently it will install the newest available version of the 'foo' source package. Of course you need to have repositories providing source packages defined (doesn't matter if you add them through YaST or zypper). JFYI searching for source packages in zypper is currently not possible, you just have to try it. If it succeeds it will tell you so, if not you'll get something like: Can't provide file ./src/foo-0.9.0-7.src.rpm from repository 'bar'. We will work on improving it, help is welcome of course :O) hth Jano -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
