not really, at least the subject is on-topic
I now have the time and opportunity to migrate my main dev machine from Fedora 8 to something current, namely F21. But in the intervening years, there have been lots of changes to KDE, and most of the visual aspects don't suit my way of thinking, especially about usability. Personally I found the older everything to be easer and faster to use. ie. less mouse movements and fewer clicks, etc. But I won't turn this into a rant. Rather I want to patch some of my major pain points to re-introduce some of the options and flexibility that seems to have been removed since then. I thought I'd start with enhancing some of the items in kdetoys, so I fetched the source RPM and tried installing it with yum and dnf. Yum complains about 'Not a compatible architecture: src' DNF complains about 'Will not install a source rpm package" RPM tries to work but warns about: missing user and group mockbuild.
a src.rpm is a SOURCE package to install it in a *build environment* or "rpmbuild ---rebuild package.src.rpm" and "rpm -ivh" just unpacks it in the build environment (SPECS, SOURCES..) to use rpmbuild
