I have an unusual question.
I was thinking of using yum to install the source packages instead of
downloading the iso files, but I am not sure what to put into the yum
command to get it to download the newest versions of the SRPMS.
I know how to set the repositories in yum.conf, and I even have a pretty
fast mirror in my home city that I use.
But what would you type in to install the SRPM files without already
having them on the system to update, would you have to do one package
group at a time?
I know I should probably just stop being lazy and just download the ISO
files and just mount them and install that way, I was just wondering if
there was a way to let yum download the updated versions and install
them to the system right directly.
Why not just mirror the SRPMS directory?
What are you intending to do with the SRPMS?
