There is very little to explain, if all you want to do is examine the source. Install rpmdevtools. Run rpmdev-setuptree Pick your favourite mirror. Navigate to the src directory that you're interested in, download the src.rpm rpm -i whatever.src.rpm Your rpm contents are now in ~/rpmbuild. Examine away. The spec is in ~/rpmbuild/SPECS, the source code is in ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES Compile it with rpmbuild -ba whatever.spec. Your binary will be in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS and the new src.rpm is in ~/rpmbuild/SRPMS. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
