So it will make the .hdr files and a header.src.info file for them. There is nothing on the client end to read or work with those files there. A while back someone said, why don't you make it for src.rpm. If you do then maybe someone would work on the client side to deal with those packages. so I did that, but I've not had a chance to work on a yum client side for the src.rpm information and no one else has. I'm open to someone doing so. -sv
