The easiest way to do this IME is: 1. Ensure 'yum-utils' is installed 2. Run 'yumdownloader --source cairo' 3. 'rpm -ivh cairo-*.src.rpm' The resulting .spec file and source will be under ~/rpmbuild/ . -- Paul -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
