Hi Jeff,

I will go according to your recommendation. please tell me how to test
for non-existence of tag RPMTAG_SOURCERPM in any rpm.

thanks and regards
Sharma

Yep, the file command will work.

Be forewarned, rpm-4.4.8 is in the process of dropping the lead
(which will break your test for a srpm), so I still recommend
testing for the non-existence of RPMTAG_SOURCERPM to
detect a SRPM.

But you probably don't care ;-)
