You can find the src.rpm here. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=2 If you then install the rpmbuild dependencies # sudo dnf install rpmdevtools you should be able to do rpmdev-setuptree rpm -ivh [anaconda src.rpm package name] # as user, *not* root cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS rpmbuild -bp anaconda.spec cd ../BUILD/[anaconda version] and be in the source. There used to be a wiki page describing how to do this for src rpm at fedoraproject.org. All I find is the following on how to build a kernel. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel There is a special mailing list for anaconda development. You can read it on gmane.org, gmane.linux.redhat.anaconda.devel. I don't see the signup address, but you can probably find it with a search. If you open a bugzilla against anaconda with your problems at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ it will probably get to those developers. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
