I need source rpm please help (*.src.rpm). I am unable to google them.

ace-snmp-6.0.5-1
compat-libstdc296-2.96-144
compat-libstdc33-3.2.3-69

google indeed does not find the first one.

For the last one, the Google search says that maybe you meant this:
Same for #2......regardless, what is the context?---eg why do you need these?

compat-gcc-296-2.96-144.src.rpm = to source rpm of 2. I have found 2.

srvadmin-argtable2-6.5.0-3.1.el6.x86_64.rpm
srvadmin-cm-6.5.0-2247.i386.rpm
srvadmin-deng-6.5.0-1.31.1.el6.x86_64.rpm
srvadmin-hapi-6.5.0-1.33.2.el6.x86_64.rpm
srvadmin-idracadm-6.5.0-1.228.2.el6.x86_64.rpm
srvadmin-isvc-6.5.0-1.52.2.el6.x86_64.rpm

I need source rpm of above. they are belonged one catagory srvadmin-* can you please help for to find out it *.src.rpm

Many thanks

If we cannot find the basic library name, we're not going to find the source code!!

Did you check Google's suggestion that you might have meant a filename with "C++"?

As for your new list--I found the first one with Google. Have you searched for each one?

Yes, C++ is not my requirement actually. C is my required and it is done. Now I am searching source rpm of below packages:


srvadmin-argtable2-6.5.0-3.1.el6.x86_64.rpm
srvadmin-cm-6.5.0-2247.i386.rpm
srvadmin-deng-6.5.0-1.31.1.el6.x86_64.rpm
srvadmin-hapi-6.5.0-1.33.2.el6.x86_64.rpm
srvadmin-idracadm-6.5.0-1.228.2.el6.x86_64.rpm
srvadmin-isvc-6.5.0-1.52.2.el6.x86_64.rpm

Kindly help for above source rpms thanks

did you search each one? (As I told you, google found the first one). Once you find the library name on google, just rummage thru to results to find a link to the source.

Or maybe search on sourceforge?

Yes I found first one but only *.rpm not *.src.rpm like:
http://mirror.symnds.com/software/li...vadmin-x86_64/

You said "Once you find the library name on google, just rummage thru to results to find a link to the source."

I am unable to find its source. kindly guide me to find its source

Take off the .rpm suffix when you search

This Google search has several hits with "src":
http://www.google.com/search?q=+srva...ient=firefox-a

Ok I removed suffix rpm and googled then srcs hit by google are mostly following like links:

rhn.missouri.edu/pub/omrepo/6Server/x86_64/.../primary.xml.gz


what is *.xml.gz? I could not find till now

Start with the ".gz" part----run "gunzip <filename>" and see what you get.

[root@Zohaib Downloads]# gunzip primary.xml.gz

Then it makes file with name primary.xml when double click on this file it shows:

etc...

At this point you know more than I do......

I do not know how that xml file relates to the source code. You said that there are other files also.

From the context that you are working in, do you know for a fact that the source code is available?

What version/distro of Linux do you need these for?? Details always help. And have you tried your distros website, since (chances are), the source RPM's are already there.

TB0ne I need source RPM of srvadmin for centos 6.3 or fedora 17.


srvadmin-argtable2-6.5.0-3.1.el6.x86_64.rpm
srvadmin-cm-6.5.0-2247.i386.rpm
srvadmin-deng-6.5.0-1.31.1.el6.x86_64.rpm
srvadmin-hapi-6.5.0-1.33.2.el6.x86_64.rpm
srvadmin-idracadm-6.5.0-1.228.2.el6.x86_64.rpm
srvadmin-isvc-6.5.0-1.52.2.el6.x86_64.rpm

"And have you tried your distros website"


Yes I have tried to find there. I am unable to find *.src.rpm

You have not answered all of my questions (above---just before Tbone). Also, I just realized something: Why would source code necessarily come with an "rpm" suffix? how do we know we are not looking for files ending just in ".src".

finally, it looks like we are talking about some kind of utility called "srvadmin"---what is that and who maintains it?
