Re: Online source code browser
Hi Stan,
I think I can help simplify this a bit.

your home directory,
rpmdev-setuptree
FWIW, this is not needed since rpm-4.6 (F10) as rpm now defaults to
using your home dir and creates these directories as needed.
and then get the src.rpm package,
yumdownloader --sourcepackage name
and install it in the build tree, as a user.
rpm -ivhpackage name
Once this is done, move to the SPEC directory,
cd ~/rpmbuild/SPEC
and run the rpmbuild command to unpack everything.
rpmbuild -bppackage name.spec
At this point the source will be unpacked in
~/rpmbuild/BUILD/package name
You can then look at it with the editor of your choice.

compile a custom kernel page has a more detailed and involved
explanation. I forgot to mention in the above that the patches that
fedora applies will be in the ~/rpmbuild/SOURCE directory after

On the whole, I'd avoid all of the manual work and just use fedpkg.
You can yum install it on Fedora and CentOS/RHEL.
# Clone the package, anonymously (drop the -a if you're in the fedora
# packager group).
fedpkg clone -a foo
# Change to the newly create package dir.
cd foo
# Have fedpkg download the source tarball(s) and extract it, applying
# any patches as well.
fedpkg prep
At this point, you will have the package source in a subdirectory,
typically %{name}-%{version}. This will be the contents for rawhide.
If you wish to see a different release, use fedpkg switch-branch
prior to the fedpkg prep call (e.g. fedpkg switch-branch f14).
One nice thing (IMO) about this method is that all the patches and
source files are in one directory. I always hated having things
spread out in rpm's default {BUILD,SOURCES,SPECS} dirs (and I setup an
~/.rpmmacros to not use that layout).
HTH,

I saw your post earlier. But I'd never used fedpgk and familiarity
overruled the simplicity. However, given your explanation, it looks
very simple and direct to use. I'll give it a try the next time I'm
investigating a package.
Thanks.
