If you distribution (you didn't say which) is composed by sane people than the tarball contained in the RPM is the *pristine* tarball -- which means it is an *exact* copy of the original tarball. That's why the SRPM may contain additional sources, patches, etc. This guideline is shared by any responsible distribution regardless if it uses RPM (e.g: Fedora) or deb (e.g: Debian). The simple reason for this guideline, is that without it there is no chance for the package maintainers to differentiate their changes from changes done by the upstream developers and stay sane... As it looks now, I will either have to use the tarball from the source rpm, Yes, that's the one you want. If you want to have with the distribution patches included, than simply use rpmbuild -bp the_spec_file to have it extract and patch the source. or just drop libtermcap in favor of curses (might necessitate code changes). This may be justified because of other reasons (ncurses has more features and is better maintained that old termcap). Obviously, this has nothing to do with the RPM/SRPM question, as it is packaged exactly like termcap with the same (distro) policy. -- Oron Peled Voice/Fax: +972-4-8228492 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.actcom.co.il/~oron Ignore Your Rights And They'll Go Away To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: source for libtermcap
Hi, If you want the source of a specific RPM, you need to download the source from the distribution site. They modify many of the RPMs they provide, so they're not the same as the vanilla version as one might think. - Noam On Thu, Jul 3, 2008 at 5:15 PM, Aharon Schkolnik [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi.

As a fallback, you can unpack the .src.rpm (using rpm -Uvh) or see: http://svn.mandriva.com/svn/packages/cooker/libtermcap/current/SOURCES/ Note that RedHat may have some downstream patches. Regards, Shlomi Fish I have also seen references to Homepage: ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/GCC/ but it doesn't seem to be there either. Does anyone know where I can find the sources ?
