I know Gustavo showed interest in adding this kind of functionality. It may depend on the back-end being used, some repo metadata does not support source packages. In the light of this discussion, it would be nice if Smart developped mach/abe kind of functionality too. Especially since Smart's configuration can be easily manipulated using smart on the commandline and it already includes much of the infrastructure necessary. > Another feature I am missing in both apt and yum is a usable > --download-only operation. > apt-get has "-d" but insists on its "package name mangling", (FC3's) yum > doesn't support it all, I don't know about smartrpm. smart upgrade --download You also have 'smart download' if you just want to download a set of packages by name/glob. -- dag wieers, dag@xxxxxxxxxx, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]
