I don't use rpm - I just need popt for other things, like rsync. But I have to download the whole SRPM for rpm (which is about ten times the size of popt alone), extract a cpio from the SRPM, extract a tarball from the cpio, unpack the tarball, and pick out the popt sources from there. Separate tarballs were (and still are) available for popt versions up to 1.7. I'd very much like to have them available for current versions as well. Should I be sending this request somewhere else? Directly to Erik Troan? Or is there a list specifically for popt? paul _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
