How to install kernel-source package through yum?


[root@sharpblade ~]# yum repolist enabled
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
repo id repo name status
fedora Fedora 13 - x86_64 20,840
fedora-source Fedora 13 - Source 0
updates Fedora 13 - x86_64 - Updates 2,736
repolist: 23,576

why status of fedora-source is 0, dose this means there's no available packages in this repo?
kernel-headers and kernel-devel have been installed, how can i install the kernel-source
package?

Thanks!

Hi -

Fedora does not use the kernel-source! It uses kernel-devel and kernel-headers. You can run yum install kernel-headers-$(uname -r) which will match the kernel to the headers and do the same thing but I have seen a lot of people with Fedora that the kernel they had and the kernel-headers were the same.

doing a yum update after usually fixes this.

Also these are the suggested packages to install for Fedora:
su <enter>then password<enter>

yum install binutils gcc make patch libgomp glibc-headers glibc-devel kernel-headers kernel-devel
Sooooo -

You might actually be good to go as-is.
