Hello List,
I tried to install kernel-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4.src.rpm with
install-packages, it refuses to install source rpm.I use rpm command
directly,it seems to process it,but installation doesn't seem to
happen.I am producing the command results below.
[root@sidharth rpm]# rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4.src.rpm
1:kernel ########################################### [100%]
[root@sidharth rpm]# rpm -qa|grep kernel
kernel-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4
kernel-doc-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4
kernel-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4
[root@sidharth rpm]# rpm -Uvh kernel-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4.src.rpm
1:kernel ######################################## [100%]
When I look at the archive,it contains many patch files and another
archive containing kernel sources. Can I just untar the kernel sources
from the rpm archive into /usr/src ? Where do I send patch files ?
Thanks,
