You want the source rpm if you want to build using what Fedora uses. This will include a base tarball and any Fedora specific patches. You can use rpmbuild to build rpms which you can then install. For just adding a patch or two, this may be the best way to go. If you want to track upsteam source, then you should probably use upstream's build process (and get detailed installations instructions there). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
