Hello everyone, In the 6.0 release, I have found a gap in the provided source under the SRPMS/ directories on the mirrors.
Let's take the 'bash' source as the first example. The version of bash that I find in the binary x86_64 directories is: http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6.0/os/x86_64/Packages/bash-4.1.2-3.el6.x86_64.rpm One would expect to find the source to that binary at: http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6.0/os/x86_64/Packages/bash-4.1.2-3.el6.src.rpm However, it does not exist. I have looked on many mirrors, all with the same result, which leads me to believe that this is simply missing on all CentOS mirrors. I have checked other distributions to see if the result is consistent, but Red Hat provides the SRPMS in their repository: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Server/en/os/SRPMS/bash-4.1.2-3.el6.src.rpm As do other rebuild-distributions like Scientific Linux: http://mirrors.200p-sf.sonic.net/scientific/6.0/SRPMS/vendor/bash-4.1.2-3.el6.src.rpm I have noticed this same anomoly with the following packages: bash coreutils iptables libselinux mod_auth_kerb nss redhat-logos There may be others as well, but I have not checked the entire distribution. Is this a mistake? Or is there a reason that these are left out? I searched the forums and found this thread, but it offers no real solution: https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=143030&topic_id=33382 Also, there doesn't appear to be any source available for the CR repository. Is there any place I can find these? Or am I just supposed to fetch them from upstream? - Ryan _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
